SPACE COAST WARBIRD AIRSHOW

Formerly known as the TICO Warbird AirShow

POSTPONED TO 2021

The Board of Directors of the Valiant Air Command, Inc., in a meeting 10/15/2019, has voted to postpone our 43rd Space Coast Warbird Airshow to 2021, by a majority vote. This decision is based on the fact that costs (e.g., fuel, oil, performer appearances, etc.) associated with this event have increasingly become prohibitive for a 100% non-profit, all volunteer based, member-supported organization to take on by ourselves. Donations and sponsorship for the event from the local community, businesses and municipalities have declined significantly the last 5 years, yet the cost to sponsor an Airshow have increased exponentially. The Board has, however, decided to restructure and renew our commitment to sponsor a 2021 Space Coast Warbird Airshow with support of the public and our local community. We will be announcing shortly new fundraising efforts to insure the continued successful growth of the museum and the events we sponsor. BOD

Museum closure due to virus concerns — March 14, 2020 Due to growing public concern and to minimize the risk of exposure to the COVID-19 virus to our visitors, volunteers and employees, the Board of Directors of the Valiant Air Command, Inc. voted to close the museum beginning Sunday 3/15/2020 at the close of business. The Board of Directors will review the further developments of the virus on March 26, 2020 to determine if an extension beyond that time frame is needed.

The exciting and popular Friday evening show will again be presented, with illuminated and pyrotechnic equipped airplanes and a massive fireworks display. We strive to provide a valuable event for the community that is a family-friendly show with military static displays and aerial demonstrations. Headlining the show, and especially anticipated for Friday's evening events, will be the storied AeroShell Acrobatic Team. Flying WWII vintage T-6/SNJ aircraft, these masters of precision flying will certainly bring the crowd to their feet. Many other exciting flying acts, and literally dozens of other aircraft ranging from 80 year old fabric biplanes to the most modern warplanes, will appear at the show. We have a special show planned for Friday with an evening event. Gates open at noon on Friday and 8:30 on Saturday and Sunday to give you a chance visit our many world class warbird aircraft, along with numerous display booths, exhibits, and food concessions.

Gate Admission: Adults - $30 Youth: $10 Detailed planning for the show has begun. The 42nd Space Coast Warbird Airshow will be a new and impressive event; however, the crowd-friendly aspects of free parking and unrestricted access to over 45 historic military aircraft will continue to guide the planning. The Valiant Air Command will continue to keep you informed as our show takes shape. 2018 Valiant Air Command & Tico Warbird Airshow 2018 Space Coast Warbird Airshow a success for Valiant Air Command, sponsors and community The Valiant Air Command and the 2018 Space Coast Warbird Airshow wish to thank the many people who contributed to an exciting and rewarding Airshow experience. Our performers and static display personnel were professional and highly motivated. The results were evident all through the weekend. Our generous private and public sponsors ensured that "the show could go on," and were a wonderful part of the event itself. Our volunteers, both individual and organizational, were the key to managing the hundreds of myriad details that arise in a large undertaking. Our governmental partners and first responders kept safety and health in everyone's sights, and were always there when needed. And our media partners, locally based and those from all over the world, "got the word out" and created valuable documentation for future media outreach uses. The overwhelmingly positive feedback we received this year is a tribute to every one of the hundreds of people involved, and tremendous motivation for us to try even harder for next year's show. Thanks again, friends Ron Davis and Laura Kelly

Airshow Director Space Coast Warbird Airshow announces exciting participants

Discount advance tickets still on sale The 2018 Space Coast Warbird Airshow will be held at the Space Coast Regional Airport, Friday April 6 through Sunday April 8. Friday will bring the show's acclaimed afternoon and evening performance, concluded with a massive fireworks display, while the show keeps its traditional daytime schedule on Saturday and Sunday. This year's show, which is beginning its fifth decade of excitement and entertainment for Space Coast residents and visitors, will commemorate America's valiant Pacific Theater military aviators and their magnificent airplanes. The show's headliner, the Tora Tora Tora reenactment team, will bring their nine replica Japanese warplanes for their legendary Pearl Harbor attack recreation. Other World War II aircraft expected for the show include the P-51 Mustang and F4U Corsair fighters, the B-25 Mitchell medium bomber, and, just confirmed, the most evocative of all American warbirds, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, in fact, the exact B-17 that portrayed the legendary "Memphis Belle" in the 1990 movie! Rides on this classic airplane will be available for purchase. Lovers of more modern aircraft won't be disappointed, as the US Air Force's Viper East F-16 demonstration shows off the maneuverability and capability of the mighty Fighting Falcon. Visitors can see and tour over fifty vintage and current airplanes, including for the first time the Air Force's massive and capable C-17 Globemaster II. Reenactors will demonstrate vintage military equipment while a carnival awaits kids of all ages.
