My Dad and His Warbirds
Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum was formed in 1977 and has been dedicated to finding and preserving historic aircraft that are such a part of our aviation history. The museum is located on 10 lush, tropical acres belonging to the Space Center Executive Airport in Titusville, Florida. The museum displays , maintains and restores an incredible array of aircraft that were indigenous to the world's military Air Forces starting before WWI to the present. Tomcat, Voodoo, Corsair, Buckeye, Wildcat, Messerschmitt, Mohawk- all the cool stuff you guys like to see- here they are. Over 35 of them....get your rocks off here.
My father has been volunteering at the War Bird Museum in Titusville for over 16 years. The place is stuffed full of military paraphenalia, small model airplanes, old uniforms, maps and over 30 restored war birds on display in two hangars. Even if you don't think you're into old aircraft I promise that just being close to these old machines is pretty awesome. ... Being with my father while he's in his element is pretty awesome as well. Taking these photos was a blast......
