The Valiant Air Command, Inc. Warbird Museum (VAC) is located at the Space Coast Regional AirportinBrevard County, just south of Titusville, Florida. The VAC contains vintage aircraft and a 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) hangar with a restoration area.[1] The VAC also has a Memorabilia Hall with flight gear, dress uniforms, weapons and artifacts. The collection includes fixed and rotary wing aircraft from World War I to the present.[2] The flagship aircraft of the museum is a Douglas C-47 Skytrain called "TICO Belle" which returned to flying status in July 2009 after the aircraft was involved in an accident.[3]

History[edit]

The museum began raising money as part of a four phase plan for expansion in 2021.[4]

Following an accident a year prior, the museum was forced to sell its damaged TBM Avenger in March 2022.[5][6]
