WW1 Bi-Planes & Tri-Planes Airshow | Military Aviation Museum

WWI- Fall of 2012

WW1 Airshow - Bi-Planes and Tri-Planes

Journey to the dawn of aerial combat…
Less than a dozen years after the invention of the first frail airplane to lift into the sky of nearby Kitty Hawk, NC, young men were jousting over the trenches of France in primitive wood and fabric aeroplanes.

Immerse Yourself…
Come to experience re-enactors and live musical entertainment from the early days of Vaudeville and the birth of the movie industry. This was an era now romanticized by authors and Hollywood, but experience it yourself at the Military Aviation Museum, when you go back in time and see these First World War airplanes flying once again.

Hot Air Balloons and so much more…
Hot air balloons were used as observation and communication posts along the Western Front, and in London, they suspended groups of balloons by steel cables to prevent plane from getting close enough to bomb parts of the city. See a collection of hot air balloons at the air show this weekend!

Also catch the vehicles, armor, and artillery demonstrations, and shop for military collectibles and memorabilia.

Fall at the Beach…
Join us in Virginia Beach on the last days of summer, when the hotel rates have come down, but the excitement has gone up.
