Can I buy a ride in a museum aircraft?

No.  The museum is not equipped or insured to offer rides to paying customers.

Do all the aircraft in the museum fly?

With very few exceptions, the answer is yes.  We’re very proud of the fact that most of our museum aircraft have been restored to flying condition, and are often seen flying to and from our museum.

When do the museum aircraft fly?

Museum aircraft often attend air shows and other special events around the country, and takeoff from our museum and then land there when they return.  In addition, museum aircraft are often demonstrated for public at the museum during special events held at the museum.  Check the flight schedule on home page for the current flight schedule.

Where does the museum find the aircraft?

Museum aircraft are found literally all over the world.  The aircraft you see in the museum have been found in Russia, Germany and Canada just to name a few.

Who restores the aircraft?

All of our aircraft are restored to flying condition by a variety of restoration facilities in many countries, and then the routine aircraft maintenance is performed by the technician at the our maintenance facility, “The Fighter Factory” in Suffolk, Va.

Can we lease the museum for special events?

Yes!  The museum is available for a variety of special events.  We have hosted everything from musical concerts to weddings.  Please contact our special events coordinator for details.
