Valiant Air Command Tico Warbird Museum, Space Coast Regional Airport, Florida

A big museum, with two large exhibition hangars plus a restoration hangar. Several of their aircraft fly regularly, and the C-47 and F-86 were away at Sun'n Fun during our visit – see my Sun'n Fun pages for them.

The airport was formerly known as Ti-Co (Titusville-Cocoa) Airport. I made a second visit in 2024 – click here for that.
