| Kev Slade Saltford, Bath, |  An excellent museum. The exhibits are not too crowded and lighting is good. Well worth a visit, especially for the Vultee. 07/30/2008 @ 23:21 [ref: 8295] |
| Al K. , Florida |  A nice little museum. Worth the time if you are in the area, but slightly overpriced. I especially liked the early general aviation collection. The Aeronca C2 and C3, Taylor E-2 Cub, Piper J-3 Cub are (what we now think of as) the planes that started affordable private flying. The rest of the collection is an interesting cross-section, including a few planes of local interest. The SR-71 and F-14 are great to see, but it’s a shame to have them sitting outside, unrestored. There are some good educational demonstrations. I know that some people think I’m under-rating it, but the web-site’s definition of 2 stars is not bad it's “Interesting” and I think that is a good fit for the Virginia Aviation Museum. 02/10/2008 @ 04:46 [ref: 6757] |
| Scott Sandston, Virginia |  There is nothing cooler than having a SR-71 parked less than 2 miles from your home. Small museum with a good variety of planes and friendly staff including a lot of older volunteers usually with some background in aviation. About 3-4 times a year they have an interesting symposium (ex. former SR-71 pilots, or former Tuskegee Airmen). Parking is right up agaist the building, so you wont be delayed much if you take a quick detour en route to some other destination, but probably not worth making a specific trip to the area for. 12/04/2004 @ 22:33 [ref: 3612] |
| Scott Shea Londonderry, New Hampshire | Great display of classic and golden aged airplanes! Well worth admission price to see some of these aircraft! Not a great gift shop but great display of airplanes! 10/15/2004 @ 19:39 [ref: 3476] |
| Joe Richmond, Virginia |  The Virginia Air and Space Museum is the only private museum with an actual SR-71 on display. 10/17/2001 @ 14:02 [ref: 1515] |
| Charles Trainor Baltimore, Maryland | An excellent smaller museum with approximately 25 aircraft on display. Some of them are extremely rare such as the Bellanca Skyrocket & the Vultee V1-A which are the only surviving examples of their type. Museum personnell are knowledgable, friendly & helpful. 07/24/2001 @ 06:04 [ref: 1319] |
| Paul Galanti Richmond, Virginia | One of the finest small aviation museums I've ever visited. Docents were very well informed and everyone I talked to was a pilot! Great experience for this retired Naval Aviator!!! 12/21/2000 @ 17:32 [ref: 693] |
| John Pittman Charlotte, North Carolina | The focus is on civil aviation in Virginia. The aircraft on display are well maintained and easily viewed. The only reason I didn't give it a higher rating is because I'm into military aviation. 07/01/2000 @ 12:32 [ref: 228] |
