This is an experience not to be missed if you have any interest in military aviation history. It is privately owned and no expense has been spared to gather and maintain aircraft that is significant. To our delight, there are planes from not only the U.S., but from Great Britain, Canada, Russia, and Germany (from both World Wars). The craft... More

Went to the museum on a Sunday morning. A wonderful two hours spent. My father, who served in WWII, had a great experience, both with the planes, and with the tour guides, volunteers who know there history! Take the time of your at the beach to visit this place, about 15 minutes from red mill off Princess Ann Rd, it... More

Visited here after reading reviews on tripadvisor. Lucky enough to visit by chance on the Friday practice day before the air show. Only planned on staying a couple of hours but stayed all day. Really great static displays of a good variety of interesting old planes, some replicas. Lucky enough on this day to see the Lancaster and the Mosquito... More

My wife and I found the Military Aviation Museum to be very interesting. Though it may not be as large as some of its competitors the displays are well maintained. You'll have a chance to get up close to all the displays though you'll have to pay attention to low hanging wings as you walk around. We had the pleasure... More

Well, I have received numerous suggestions that I need to visit the Military Aviation Museum. I decided to finally get out there and see it. I was not disappointed! I regret that I hadn't taken my family and friends there while they visited Virginia Beach. But now it will be a must see. The museum is awesome, I was amazed... More

Every time I go there they add something else. Now they opened a whole building just for German planes. Don't just walk around and wonder what these planes are. Get a guided tour. You'll learn some history of airplanes and WWII history.

It went there last Dec 2012. It was very interesting and lots to see. The tour is worth it. They tell you lots of things. My dad loves air planes so he liked it alot and has been there several times.

Went to the Warbirds show....the weather grounded many planes but the flights that did make it up along with the static displays were exceptional and many were unique. This is a TOP SHELF facility to visit!

We attended the 2013 Virginia Beach Airshow and this venue is fantastic! The grounds are lovely as are the museum and hangers. The WW1 Hanger is unbeatable and is filled with beautiful WW1 aircraft, stacked end to end. There is a Luftwaffe Hanger which was imported piece by piece and has been lovingly reassembled. The collection of WW2 airplanes is... More
