The Museum Remains Open During Their Regular Business Hours
You've heard it all before... but each time becomes more regrettable with the repetition. Due to the ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19, the October Air Show, which combined Warbirds Over the Beach with Biplanes and Brews, has been cancelled.
Based on a careful assessment of where they stood with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Museum Board undertook the difficult decision to cancel 2020’s Warbirds Over the Beach. This event traditionally features the flight of many of the museum’s World War II aircraft in a 1940s atmosphere, paired with entertainers, living history encampments, and a militaria market. Biplanes and Brews combined the aircraft of World War One with a weekend of live music, flying demonstrations and craft beer.
The museum is looking forward to returning with exciting air shows and programs in 2021 In the meantime, however, The Military Aviation Museum will be issuing refunds for Warbirds Over the Beach 2020 tickets.
A 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization, the Military Aviation Museum is home to one of the world’s largest collections of airworthy military aircraft from the first 50-years of flight. Truly a living museum, its aircraft are in restoration at facilities around the world. Besides the main Museum, the Virginia Beach complex features additional exhibition spaces including a mid-1930s Luftwaffe hangar, originally from Cottbus, Germany, which now serves to house the Museum's collection of WWII-vintage German aircraft. Additional structures include the WWI Hangar, and the original radio control tower from RAF Goxhill built in England in 1942.
