- Near Titusville, FL, the Valiant Air Command maintains the “Warbird Museum,” full of old fighter planes, many of which still fly! It’s a fascinating place to see old American planes, like F-14s and Warthogs, and even some foreign planes, like Russian Military Migs and a Canberra. There's a B-52, old jets, and many old fighter planes. It’s well worth your efforts to go see the old Warbirds!
Hi! We're Jimmy and Johnnie Lewis and we are the Two Old Farts Traveling! Our five-year mission is to boldly go where no old farts have gone before. Or at least not recently! We've sold our house and everything in it, bought a Class C RV, a Coachmen Freelander 27QB RV, and are traveling full-time (glamping!) around the USA, towing a Toyota Prius. Follow us as we "Have RV, Will Travel" around our great nation. Hope to see you as we go "on the road again"!!

I am a native of the area, and have been to the museum several times. Love seeing how much it's grown. We need to preserve as many of these aircraft as poaaible.
WOW! Back in 2002, my wife and our 3 children (all of us being war airplane nuts), took a vacation in Florida for two weeks to visit Disney World. We rented a car and just drove where ever the wind took us, and it took us to this very same museum. This place is exactly the same as how the Chino air museum in California used to be back in the 70s & early 80s. They're not fancy, but they are loaded with amazing airplanes you just do not see anywhere else. I now live in Seattle near the Boeing field and airplane museum. Sure it's great and everything but it's nothing like that museum where you can touch and feel things in their dusty raw state. I grew up in LA and often got on my motorcycle and visit Chino Air, and could walk around to any of the hanger displays which were exactly like that museum. I can still remember when they started to restore the now only flying Japanese Zero and the prototype yellow flying wing. Decades later at the Seattle Sea Fair, Chino sent that very Zero to fly over Seattle along with other amazing rare airplanes like the early version of the P-40 over my home on Mercer Island, WA. I was in tears cause I told my now-adult children exactly where these airplanes came from. You Two Old Farts, KEEP IT UP. Great work. Sincerely Dan Sotelo
G'day Dan, I can "hear" the same passion for WarBirds in your letter that I have. When my kids were younger, they loved us flying down for the Omaka Aviation Centre's Airshows (plus the Wanaka A.S. with Polikarpov I-16's!) in NZ. I was at the Hood Aerodrome A.S. recently and fulfilled a lifelong Dream......a fully aerobatic, Yak3M back"seat" flight, I still have the model I made of this A/c from 46 years ago. NZ has a VERY strong WarBird community, have a look mate! Kind regards, Sue's Husb. Mark.
Great assortment of aircraft and their role in history. Neat seeing the Mig 21 from former Czechoslovakia.
One of the volunteers there, first name Larry, used to fly that very Canberra during his time in the AF. Great museum to visit if you're in the area.
AWESOME VIDEO. We've always wanted to see the Warbird Museum. We've heard amazing things about it. I (Buck) love anything aviation related and feel like I could spend a lifetime in the museum. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more videos!
Thanks, Buck! It's been a thrill-a-minute for us, living in our Class C and skipping around as we have been for the last 16 months. We both (Jimmy and Johnnie) LOVE anything that has to do with planes, boats, trains, and autos, so we see every "show" or museum we can (our son has warned us about trying to get into submarine bases; swears he won't come get us out of the brig if we "do it wrong"!!). In fact, Jimmy and his father together built almost every model of airplane KNOWN as he was growing up (Pop worked for Lockheed!). Of course, right now, we're still doing the east coast, so next year, when we hit part of the west coast, southwest, and Hawaii (YEA!!), we'll see as much of nature as we can. Tally Ho!!
After all those years of restoration why would he put it up for sale?
Sometimes it takes so long to do the restoration. That by the time you get it done you can no longer fly it. Look at the man in Kentucky who retrieved the p38 glacier girl. That was heart breaking.
Love dem old/new planes. I hate to see an aviation bone yard. They almost make me want to cry!
But what was FUN about this place was that about 1/3 of the planes STILL FLY! So they were scrap, for the most part. The one in Warner Robins was good, but it was ALL sorts of planes, not just fighter planes like this one was!
Great tour. Good to see an EE Canberra, I have worked on a couple and my Grandad worked for EE building them.
Lindo acervo. Parabéns ❗♥️🇧🇷
