Starting at about 09:41 in this video: When I visited the museum there was a sign next to that Piper. It identified the aircraft as a an NE-1 "GLIMPY." I remembered seeing this aircraft because of that _Beautiful_ paint job. *EDIT #1:* I posted this comment before the name of the aircraft was mentioned in this video. *EDIT #2:* I added *"EDIT #1"* {as just "EDIT:"} at least half an hour ago, but just now noticed it was missing. WTF, YT??!!
Was there in Sept of 2021 and it's an amazing museum. I was surprised at how big some of the planes were. If you're in Va, Beach this place is worth the time to go see it.
Fantastic aviation museum. Sitting here at starbucks watching. Never knew there was so many airplane museums. Its amazing ! 😊.. no other customers walking around ?
17:22 PO-2 is a multi-purpose aircraft, it flew at a ridiculous speed of 120 km / h. It was used for civilian purposes, and during the war it was used as a night bomber and was piloted ... by women. On approaching the positions of the Germans, the pilot turned off the engine and silently planned, dropping 2 or 4 bombs from a low altitude, with a total weight of up to 250 kg. The Germans could not do anything with him at night. In terms of the effectiveness of combat use during the Second World War, the Po-2 was second only to the armored attack aircraft IL-2.
Just a suggestion, if you’re ever back in southeast Michigan go visit the Yankee Air Museum in Belleville. They have quite a few planes and exhibits including a B-17G, a B-25d, a C-47 all flyable, plus quite a few static displays. They also have quite a nice museum inside. It’s located at Willow Run airport
Deborah Bailey, I usually give the smaller air museums a pass, because all they usually have are the most common types, same as all the other museums also have....not worth a trip to see them. Maybe if I happen to be nearby for something else.
A quick way to tell between a Spitfire and a Hurricane, from the side profile - look at the fuselage behind the cockpit - The Spit is straight, while the Hurri has a hunch-back. - - - I think the inverted Biplane on the mezzanine was a Sopwith Pup, but WW1 is not my forte. - - -
FWIW: I have been living in northeastern North Carolina since 1995, but I was not aware this museum existed until SEVERAL years AFTER moving here. I only visited the museum for the first time around June of 2022...🤦♂️
I’ve been to lots of aviation museums and museums in general . I know a whole ton of military stuff and I’m an military enthusiast and mechanics and technology enthusiast . I don’t really care if it’s restored cuz they restore it like if it was original. So technically your flying a reproduction of an aircraft as if they were still producing them in the factories. And if they can’t find parts for restoreing aircraft they reproduce it in the lathe or mill or CNC with the same material. I think it’s really cool to see these places bring back the past as if they were modern which is extremely cool
My favorite USA WWII fighter aircraft is the Lockheed P-38 Lightning. {Unfortunately this museum does not have one.} At about 21:27 in this video: My SECOND FAVORITE was developed near the end of the war, but did not see service until the war ended: The Douglas AD-1 {later A-1} SKYRAIDERS.
Awesome footage thank you so much. I believe the museum has 8 hangars open to the public and you showed 3. Does it take 50ish minutes to thoroughly visit 3 hangars?
Just a suggestion for you,if you haven't already been there, is to visit the Old Rhynbeck Aerodrome in The Hudson Valley of New York. It's not huge, but it's got an original Bleriot that still fly's. Plus several other early models, most of which still fly.
i ve been there many times, from the beginning when entrance was free of charge. Recomend everyone to come see it, its great place. Regards from Austria
Don Breadman, I wish you would have thought about that comment before you wrote it. Do you imagine that everyone who visits a museum is immediately an expert on everything there, and has enough experience with everything to recognize it from any angle when first encountering it? You comment comes across like an insult, even if you don't intend it that way.
For god sake not everyone who visits museums are experts! I am a fellow history and gun enthusiast but I don’t judge him because I know ALOT of people who don’t know too much about these things, so Don Breadman, go eat some bread in your sad corner where you comment insults on a device and can’t say it to his face.
Jorgevieira4602, I am not an aviation expert and have never claimed that I was. I am just a person who visits museums and makes walk through videos. What seems "incomprehensible" is that people such as yourself make up a "fact" and then criticize somebody for not living up to the false standard.
Given your numerous visits to aviation museums,might I be so bold as to suggest some research before posting. For Instance......That Mosquito was restored in New Zealand,The first of only 4 currently flying on the planet,at the time of its arrival at that museum the only flying Mosquito.Its squadron identity letters,{on the side,in big white letters}are the owners initials.He also owns the museum. The US also operated the Mosquito. Regards from AUSTRALIA.
chris reynolds, your suggestion is quite unrealistic. First, my museum walk-through videos, of any kind, are intended to let other people know that each museum exists and what kind of place it is so they have a better idea of whether they might like to visit it, and how much time to allow for the visit, etc. In no way are these videos intended to be authoritative documentaries on the objects within the museums. Second, I visit these museums while I am on vacation, and quite often they are spontaneous visits. It is impractical to do "some research" before visiting them, although a number of viewers like to accuse me of not knowing everything about a given artifact that THEY happen to have more knowledge of. Third, the kind of ignorance on my part that you seem to be targeting here is understandable and appropriate.....think about it. You are not concerned with whether I showed the Mosquito in my video, or that I identified it as a Mosquito or not....you are concerned with me not knowing or saying that it was restored in new Zealand (very few of my viewers, and myself, could care less about where it was restored), or that at the time of its arrival at the museum it was this or that. I appreciate that you are apparently a fan of this particular aircraft and are 'up on' various bits of arcane information about it, but to expect ME to know that or expect me to even think to find it out is pretty unrealistic and unfair to me. Fourth, these videos are long enough already. Imagine if I 'did the research' necessary to satisfy every random viewer's pet trivia about every item, the videos would be many hours long, unwatchable, and hardly worth my while to make.
I finally got to see this amazing place last month. Truly amazing! Jerry Yagen (the owner) is my uncle and I am so proud of the things he has done to preserve all the history that is in this place. Hope to get back there again soon!!!

I was a Volunteer there a few years ago. I see it's bigger now. You also would like the Va air and space . in Hampton Va. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. Much appreciated for your walk through.

Those women pilots were known as _"The Night Witches."_

Be prepared to be awed by the historical military planes and other vehicles at this wonderful museum in Virginia Beach. I know I was.

Jeff McDermott, I have been there, in 2004, I think.

Wow! Thank you for giving me looking at warbirds… wish that I could afford to go there from California…😟

Confusing a Hurricane with a spitefire, for an aviation expert, is incomprehensible😯
