Great tour! Lots of awesome Aircraft. Got to see them fully restored and and some in pieces being restored. Very Interesting, and Don was fantastic.

The guides all speak from experience and this museum houses more planes than you could ever imagine. A great tour and memorial to those who serve. History at it's finest
There are really awesome machines to see. A must for every technician.
Nice planes and history. Check it out when in the area.
Fabulous place to learn a little history while having fun
So many vintage planes kept in flying condition. Knowledgeable And friendly staff and volunteers. Tour of the actual restoration hangar was a rare experience
I had a great time checking out aircraft and listening to our tour guide Phil. Super enjoyable. Great history.
Super awesome facility, the staff is very friendly and available to be informative. On top of all this you can actually touch the planes and get in a few of them depending on availability by paying a few extra bucks. Those few extra bucks just go into the planes btw so it's a win-win for everybody. I highly recommend stopping by here. You will be super impressed.
Really Cool place to take the family! We had the chance to go while they have free entry. Highly recommended while visiting the Space coast. If you are into classic planes and military history and machinery this is a must do!
Very nice but if you want a ride forget it unless you have $300.00 or more to spend.
Lots of really rare and interesting aerial artifacts. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history behind each piece of aircraft.
Small collection of aircraft that did battle in the main arenas that were their creators. The mantra here is, if it has a prop it flies (or will).
The tour is given by a docent, generally one of the heroes who flew them then they leave you to wander and look. Tag along with other docents, they all have their own stories and skills. An amazing place, really charming folks and a place to get really close to these warbirds. Not a place I would suggest for small/young children.
The restoration they did on airplanes is amazing,and people who works there really know things and they can tell you allot about planes,restoration and history in aviation.
Super recommended, it is worth not to forget so much effort and remember that "Freedom is not free" my 3 year old son enjoyed it a lot.
Fantastic time , we are an english couple and were looked after really well
This is a sort of a hidden gem - a least in my opinion. There are a lot of planes, both completely restored and in the process. You can wander through part on your own, but there are guides to take you through the hangars. You do need to by a ticket for the tour - which goes toward the restoration and museum. I went on a whim while driving back from the coast (saw the signs), and expected to be in and out -but wound up there for more than an hour...and probably could have spent more time if I had it.
Jerry Kerr was extremely knowledgeable about all the aircraft. My son and I throughly enjoyed his tour. Thanks, Jerry!!!
Small museum with a lot of history. Well worth the admission. Loved it.
Lest we forget,
We should always look to our past to prevent repeating it. A great place to see what those who have gone before put up with to give us the freedoms we often take for granted.
A lovely way to spend a day. So much to see and learn, all of the docents are knowledgeable and patient to answer all of my questions. I visited on 6 June 2019 - the emotions in speaking to veterans and hearing their stories were at times overwhelming. But, we need to hear these stories.
Have been passionate about aviation my whole life... Hadn't heard about the museum, but made a stip as I saw the signs on the road. What a great place... Beautifil collection, well maintained and displayed. As you walk through the various parts of the exhibit, you'll meet some of the folks that made this place possible, passionate, taking the time to discuss with all amd share stories and passion. Loved the two hours spent there... Highly recommand.
$ 50 Admission for 2 adults and 2 children is really a bit too much. We would have liked to look at it, but not really for that price. That would have really overused our holiday fund
Absolutely amazing day at the museum. The planes are beautiful and you can walk right up to them! Excellent place to take amazing photos! We will definitely be coming back!
Just wonderful! Entry ($ 20 for adults) is worth every penny. We had a wonderful tour with Don, who led us through the exhibition with many stories, but also interesting technical details.
This museum is a must, especially for those interested in aircraft!
A must See aviation museum in the Central Florida area located at Titusville airport.
This place is AmaZing!! You can get up close and personal with everything they have on display and they have a lot! There is a great story behind everything you see here, You can read it for yourself or take a live tour with a guide. A huge Thankyou to all past,present, and future service men and women who fight for our freedom.. God bless!
The place I loved many planes, there is a dc3 that participated in Normandy, great
We started visiting here years ago and even became volunteers. My wife helps with events and I became a tour guide. Great museum. This museum is different from many air museums because you can get "up close and personal" with the planes on display.
Walk with the tour guides and hear stories about why the planes on exhibit are special.
Awesome museum.is so nice to see so many aircrafts and the tour guide was so nice very knoweable.
Great museum with very friendly staff.
I highly recommend this place .
We had a great time here. The guide took his time and explained in great detail.
They are doing a great job in restoring and keeping these legends alive.
This WarBird Museum is among the very best of all aircraft museums in the country. 52 warbirds from the Wright Brothers (well, almost...there is an Epps hanging from the ceiling of the reception room, and if you never heard of Dr. Epps, I am not surprised, he was too humble, but after the Wright Brothers proved the concept of flight they went back to improving bicycles, and Dr. Epps improved on their design, adding wheels and ailerons and doing about 35 upgrades such that it was off his designs that the WWI planes were built upon). You can spend days here and still not seeing it all. 11 of the 52 planes still fly. And the best of all is the Valiant Air Command (the host unit) has an airshow the second weekend of every March. Blue Angels, The Thunderbirds both alternate years appearing. A great airshow year after year. Why not, they have had a show here for 42 years. This museum is a must see. Check it out after your visit to the Kennedy Space Center. Only 10 miles away from KSC.
Great tour guide very nice up close and personal with the airplane exhibits. I had a better time here than at the Smithsonian air and space. Why? Because I could touch the aircraft.
Aviation enthusiast on holiday in Florida with my wife and another couple. Valiant air command museum looked like a good bet to me, but would it have a broad enough appeal to prove an interesting day out for my three companions? It certainly was - all of us enjoyed it tremendously and I can't recommend it highly enough. On arrival we were greeted by Curt, one of the volunteer guides, who went into the first exhibition room and added a few extra pieces of information to some of the displays. However, once we realised this was a man with a real passion for the museum's exhibits and a wide knowledge of aircraft, and he realised that we were genuinely interested in what he had to say, we were treated to the best couple of hours in any museum anywhere. We sat in several cockpits whilst Curt brought the experience to life with interesting annecdotes from the operational history of the aircraft. The museum was big enough to house a great variety of exhibits but not so big that all of them are roped off and inaccessible.
Personally I would rather have good close-up access to a few dozen significant or unusual aircraft accompanied by a first-class guide than look at twice as many aircraft hanging from the ceiling or viewed from a roped-off area 20 feet away.
I can thoroughly recommend the museum, and more importantly, so can my non-aviation friends, who also enjoyed it a lot. Thanks Valiant, and thanks Curt.
Friendly guides and a lot of old memorabilia and warplanes.
Great museum did you very good work on restoring old classics
Amazing guided tour highly recommend. Plan on 2 hours
If you are interested in planes you should visit the museum.
Well worth it.
This is a really nice Museum! Clean,well put together and very knowledgeable. 10/10 only down side was the price at 20$ a head but it goes to a good cause.
This place is really neat. It really brings out the kid in me, seeing all the old airplanes. We came here for the Veterans Day special and would definitely recommend it. Don't miss the B52 cockpit experience. That was really special. The whole place really highlights the amazing men and women of the USAF. Thumbs up!
Cool collection of warbirds and the hangars are open so you can see in progress restorations as well. Do it guided or wander around on your own, it's well worth the visit
Absolutely amazing. So much education and our tour guide was the best.
Great place. Bit like a hidden gem for people interested in aviation and history. Very friendly and helpful staff. I'll visit it again.
Small Museum that has a lot to offer their very good I would suggest that if you're into airplanes and 2 World War 2 Vietnam Korean War memorabilia that you go there and check it out
Very rude staff, need to think about the people they have represent this place
Stopped here during our trip to Orlando and I'm really glad we did. I love history and especially aviation history and this place did not cease to amaze me.
We walked in and they have a really nice little store full of awesome models you can buy and all sorts of collectables and things.
We paid the front desk lady and what amazed me the most is we had our own tour guide. This guy went over all of the planes in the hangar and explained to us all the cool things this museum has collected over the years.
I loved it, our tour guide was an old crew chief in the Air Force for the thuds and hearing his excitement as he explained all the stuff he knew was amazing to me. I've been to a lot of air museums and this one was 100% worth the time and money spent to get in!!!
Off jump this museum is $20 to get In, the guides were well educated in the history of each plane, the stories were great to hear especially from individuals from that era. As a child I liked to sit around and hear old war stories and this brought back memories. Great visit!
It is very interesting, it transports you to those years of the wars that we have only seen in movies, besides the attention and information that you are given is unique.
Positively excellent experience. Especially during their airshow. Airshow admission also gives you entrance into the museum as well as they hangers throughout the day while watching although planes from through aviation history flying overhead. The museum is filled with enough history and amazing memorabilia to keep you occupied in there alone for hours
Took my grandfather here a few months after my grandmother passed to try to get him out and moving. When I picked him up at home he was in his now usual funk. We walked into the museum and when he looked up I saw my grandfather light up like I have never seen before much less since loosing his wife of 60+ years. He looked at me and said "Holy $#%+ that's my bird!!" And with that he went to pointing out this and that giving me a complete preflight of the plane I thought for sure we would be thrown out but the gentleman that walked up just smiled and assured me that "when a man knows more about a plane than he does it's best not to get in his way". I will never forget the stories that my grandfather shared with me that day. He never spoke about the war or to much of his service days before with me in all my life but that day I learned a lot about my grandfather (and the plane). Thank you VAC.
A Must See, Awsome experience, Vintage to Modern. Nice Store selling models and other collectibles.
Fantastic museum if you enjoy aviation. The Xp-82 was a real treat. The volunteers are phenomenal. A must if you like vintage American (Merica Baby) aircraft.
Excellent plane museum with deducated guides telling you the stories of all the planes they have restored. A must visit place
Friendly staff and a great collection of accessible aircraft
Wow! What a unique and well done museum. This military aviation museum has a ton of unique planes, military history exhibits and a restoration section that you can watch them fully restore planes to the tiniest detail. One word of advice is to talk to the volunteer guides that are walking around. That is what ended up making our visit so special! They are incredibly knowledgeable and often have a direct tie to some of the pieces in the collection. They also have a very large gift shop and a few vending machines for snacks or drinks. Admission is a bit high, but you can find a coupon on their website.
I was at the cape for business and stopped by this lovely museum for a visit. Knowledgeable docents, nice exhibits and very good collection of aircraft. Will visit again if I return to the area!
I loved this museum! Its has a great collection and a lot of its airplanes are operational!
Awesome place. Lots of old planes that you can walk around and look at. They may have guided tours, but we just walked around for a couple of hours and enjoyed the old war planes they have on display.
If you have smaller children, you may want to watch them kind of close. These planes were in service and they're old - most are dripping oil into buckets/pans on the floor. My two year old would have been unable to help himself with those if we had brought him (he was taking a nap at the time)
Great display of real planes, guides are very friendly and know a lot about each one of them. Have store where you can buy different stuff.
Fantastic air museum, with an F14 tomcat currently under renovation as well as several other planes. The walk through part is great with lots of memorable items and articles to check out. The day we showed up they even started up the resident celebrity plane the C47 "tico belle".
Every interesting displays of WWI, WWII, Korean, and Vietnam era aircraft. The volunteers also do a lot of aircraft restoration.
A great place to spend the day looking at all of the Vintage aircraft. Also have a great gift shop.
Arrived about an hour before closing, were admitted to the special price and got a short but damn good guide. Great pieces that are nowhere else and very nice staff.
Thx for the great hour yesterday at 5pm. :)
One of the best I seen. You can actually get next to the aircraft and it NAVY display is amazing!
Great displays, knowledgeable volunteers well worth the trip
These guys have done an amazing job as the planes from World War II, Vietnam, and the current era are very well represented! The planes on display are in the best condition of any planes I ve ever seen in an air museum. The docent was extremely helpful and entertaining, and I feel fortunate that I was able to have a one on one experience with him. If you have a love for war planes, this is the place for you!
Fantastic place with a great assortment of planes, both flying and non flying! The coolest is the Tico Bell C47. It's history is amazing!
Valiant Air Command is a great place to visit and they do a fantastic job on restrain of beautiful war birds.
Great place to take the family. We took the guided tour and I am glad we did, our guide was knowledgable and personable. Lots of history and beautiful planes.
Amazing awesome place full of History on patriotism God bless you God bless America
