Military Aviation Museum Featuring one of the world's largest flying collections of historic WWI and WWII military aircraft.
(3193)

The Military Aviation Museum features one of the world's largest FLYING collections of historic military aircraft. Each airframe has undergone a painstaking restoration, using original components, whenever possible. Truly a living museum, new aircraft are in restoration at facilities around the world. Simultaneously, the Museum complex, at the Virginia Beach Airport, is being transformed by the installation of additional structures. In 2012, the 1934 Luftwaffe Hangar, originally from Cottbus, Germany, was opened. It now serves to house the Museum's collection of WWII-vintage German aircraft. For information about scheduled flight demonstrations, seminars, and visiting aircraft, please consult our website:

🙌Volunteer Spotlight: Our volunteers are the backbone of our visitor experience! Meet Mr. Warren Curd, one of our esteemed Docents here at the museum. Warren is a retired Army Veteran and History Teacher with a passion for flying and these old warbirds! We truly appreciate their countless hours of service and dedication to keeping the history of our warbird collection alive. Their wealth of knowledge and experience as well as their stories have always been a highlight to our visitors. Thank you Warren, for your service!

The public will be invited to “Zero Day” when date is announced (TBD).
