P-51 flight at the Military Aviation Museum

[Raven68]

Had some wonderful time off at the beaches of Va Beach and the Outer banks about a week ago. On the way to the Outer banks from Va. Beach we stopped off at the Military Aviation Museum south of Va. Beach. For some reason I did not know about this place, but stumbled a nice find for myself. IIRC this place is owned by a collector of WWI & WWII aircraft. He apparently has some serious coin, because he has a sizable stable of planes. To our surprise we arrived just in time to see him take one of his toys for a Sunday afternoon spin...

 

By the way, my recording abilities are not the greatest so don't beat me up too bad about dropping off. :D

Thanks for the heads up on this. I did not know it was there either. I will check it out.

:doh: I passed by there a couple of years ago while driving from Hampton to the Outerbanks. I wish I hand know that then :cry:.

 

Thanks for sharing. Just another reason for heading out that way again :)

Also bear in mind that they do a couple of airshows there. In May it's primarily WWII aircraft and in October, IIRC, is dedicated to WWI aircraft. I will try to return in May and make another beach trip out of it. :)

Sometimes it's hard to be but yep...raised in Greenville, ECU Grad.

 

I noticed they give rides in some aircraft like the Stearman. Also, the P51 had a backseat passenger. I wonder if it is possible to get a ride in Double Trouble Too?

 

I think I will inquire.
