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

I visited the Valiant Air Command Museum in 2016. Back then the B-52 nose and Canberra were in the resoration hangar and the Super Sabre was in bits. There have been several additions and restorations since then. The Provider has been out on the airfield for many years, so it was good to see it now at the museum and nicely cleaned up. And the Twin Mustang was a nice surprise.

It's at the nearest commercial airport to Cape Canaveral. We visited on 10th April.
