Military Aviation Museum, Virginia Beach, VA

There is a new museum in Virginia Beach, not far from my house. It's called the Military Aviation Museum. It's located at the Virginia Beach Airport just south of the little cross road town of Pungo. I stopped by this morning and took a few pictures. Most of the collection is restored and flyable. Admission is $10.

Wow! That's a pretty good selection of aircraft, and such a beautiful setting. Doesn't look very busy either. Thanks for the pics leeG.

Looks like the I-15 is not Hangar Broken yet,,,, looks like it is still being pan trained.
