Military Aviation Museum

Welcome to the Military Aviation Museum!

The Military Aviation Museum, located at the Virginia Beach Airport is home to one of the largest private collections of World War 2 and Korean War era fighters, bombers, trainers and seaplanes. Many aircraft have been fully restored to their World War II condition and are available for flight demonstration*, static display or movie production or commercials.

The Fighter Factory is the aircraft recovery and restoration component of the museum dedicated to the preservation of historical aircraft before they are lost forever. Some aircraft are in the process of restoration and many World War II planes have yet to be discovered!

To view our current fleet of aircraft online, you can visit Sthe Fighter Factory website. If you would like to view these warbirds live, we are open from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., 7 days a week. For inquiries, please call us at 757-721-PROP.

*Aircraft are not always available for flight demonstrations please call for details.

Volunteers and Docents

We are seeking docents to give hangar tours, photographers, children education leaders, and even just plane washers. Most of these do not require any specific skills or prior experience, other then just enthusiasm. Share a few hours each month with us and learn more about aviation and airplanes from the middle of the last century.

If you would like to attend, sign up on our volunteer sheet, and tell someone that you will be coming, so that they can add your name to the planned attendee list. We look forward to having you join us and meeting you at our first training session.
