Pic Warbird Air Museum Titusville Fl!!!!!

Sun Nov 19, 2006 4:53 pm

My Wife & I went out the the Valiant Air Command Warbird Air Museum in Titusville FL today.
These are pic's of some of the aircraft on display & being restored.
Some of the aircraft are & flying condition & others are just static displays.
The also had a great indoor Museum with thousands of aviation artifacts from WWI to Today.
Sorry if these pic's are not the best I rushed through most of them because the batteries in my digital camera were going dead.
Id say this place is one of Floridas hidden treasures, if your in the area check it out.

Thanks for the photos. I guess I didnt realize they had such a large collection. Their website is one of the very few museum sites that does not list the aircraft collection.

Is the Wildcat on loan from the Navy? It looks too clean to be a flyer.

Chuck, Wildcat Bu 14994 is in fact on loan from the Natl Museum of Naval Aviation see http://naval.aviation.museum/aircraft.html

Yes, the Navy owns it. It was restored by the VAC. I saw it in primer in 1998.
