VALIANT AIR COMMAND, INC. WARBIRD MUSEUM

Founded in 1977, Valiant Air Command's two hangers (30,000 sq ft) are filled with over 40 vintage aircraft from pre-WWI to present. Located on the Space Coast Regional Airport property, the museum also consists of a restoration area as well as the Memorabilia Hall containing plenty of models, uniforms, flight gear, artifacts and much, much more. The flagship of the museum is the Douglass C-47 Skytrain called the "TICO Belle," which returned to the air in 2009.
