The Valiant Air Command Offers Rides in WWII Normandy Invasion Veteran -- C-47 "Tico Belle"

C-47

The Valiant Air Command is proud to announce that one of its most venerable warbirds has returned to flight once again; the C-47 "Tico Belle." From the Normandy invasion to Cherbourg, to Arnhem, to Bastogne, to the Berlin Airlift and much more, this aircraft was there -- over 65 years ago.

Now, YOU can experience all this history as a special and unique present for yourself, or someone you love. For only $175 you not only get a ride in our local area, but if you are not already a member of the Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum, we'll give you an individual one year membership; and for only $225, we'll give you a family membership (a $100 value). These Museum memberships entitle you to free admission to the museum and to the annual 3-day Warbird Airshow, as well as other "members only" offers and opportunities.

Call or email (vacwarbirds@bellsouth.net) us for additional information, or to get on our reserve list and we will notify you of the flight schedule. Don't miss this exciting opportunity when the Tico Belle, returns to the skies with you aboard; complete with Normandy invasion identification stripes. You will be able to look out and truly imagine what it must have been like on that fateful June 6th, 1944. A day when the freedom of a world hung in the balance as she made her way in the pre-dawn darkness towards the beaches of Normandy; part of the largest aerial invasion armada the world has ever seen.

The Valiant Air Command Museum is located at the Space Coast Regional Airport at 6600 Tico Road in Titusville.

Ground Breaking For New VAC Hangar Announced

Drawing of our new Vietnam aircraft hangar.

On Monday 22 February at 11AM behind the present Warbird Museum, there will be a ground breaking ceremony for a new hangar.

The Valiant Air Command was organized in 1977 by a group of eleven individuals with a passion for vintage warbirds. Today the VAC has over 1200 members and is dedicated to educating the public and preserving the legacy of great warbirds and the pilots that flew them. Over the years the Organization has added a museum to house a collection of artifacts and memorabilia and in 2000 a restoration hangar was added.

The museum's collection of vintage aircraft has outgrown the facility and additional space is badly needed. As a result of the great efforts by local city and county officials, the Tico Airport Authority and the staff and members of the Valiant Air Command, land acquisition and funding was obtained to allow for a new hangar. This hangar will be dedicated to "Honoring The Memory" of those that served and sacraficed in the Vietnam War and our collection of Vietnam vintage warbirds and memorabilia will be moved to the new exhibition space.

This will allow the VAC to accept additional warbirds that, in the past, have been turned down because of space limitations. The Commander of the Valiant Air Command, Lloyd Morris said "this is a great day for the VAC and the Space Coast Regional Airport." This addition will help attract more tourist dollars to the museum and to our County.



The Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum is a 501(c)(3) Educational Museum, non profit, dedicated to the preservation of aviation history for future generations.

Donations are tax deductible. If you wish to donate to the museum, please call 321-268-1941.
