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.

New VAC Hangar Funding Approved

Drawing of our new Vietnam aircraft hangar.

Exciting News: As a result of alot of hard work and support within the community, local and state governments and agencies, the Valiant Air Command now has a viable funding plan that will make possible, the building of a new hangar to expand our vintage warbird collection.

We are about 90% of where we need to be and hope to have the new hangar open in 2010. We plan to reserve this space to "honor the memory" of those who served during the Vietnam era and will move most of the vintage aircraft in our collection from that era to the new hangar, along with memorabilia, artifacts, exhibits and displays.

Time is off the essence, however, and this is an opportunity that can not be missed. Any donations will be gratefully accepted. If you are a Vietnam Vet, or wish to honor a friend or relative or just love vintage warbirds, we have several donation programs -- from purchasing an engraved memorial "Brick" that will be used in front of the new museum, to corporate sponsors, to individuals. Please send your donations in now! Send them to the museum's address below, or call for additional information. All donations will got directly into our Building Fund. Thanks.



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.
