Notice about the 2025 Airshow
Thank you for your interest in the 2025 Space Coast Warbird AirShow.
Please be advised that our 2025 airshow has been rescheduled to March 2026, as announced
on October 3rd on our Facebook page. This decision was made by our Board of Directors due
to Titusville Airport's planned runway resurfacing project, scheduled to begin in February
2025 and anticipated to last approximately four months.
For the latest updates, please refer to the pinned post on our Facebook page Valiant Air
Command Facebook.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We look forward to welcoming you
to an even bigger and better event in 2026.
Our next VAC Warbird AirShow is set for Saturday and Sunday, March 15-16, 2025, at our home airport in Titusville. The 4-ship AeroShell demonstration team, newly renamed “The
Titan Aerobatic Team”, will headline the event. Also at the show will be the F-22
Raptor from Air Combat Command. The Army Aviation Heritage Foundation/Sky Soldiers will be
back offering rides in their Huey and Cobra helicopters. It is a little early to
confirm the rest of the show, but we are working with additional aerial acts and static
displays. Friday morning, we will hold a “Media Day”, with Friday afternoon
open for aerial practice, and a Dirty Flight Suit Party that night at the museum. As in
years past, we will operate a Beer Garden tent as well as a VAC Member’s Chalet and
our Gift shop on Saturday and Sunday. Again, we are looking for volunteers each day to
work the tents and help the performers and ride hoppers. It is not too early to let us
know if you want to volunteer. We will be building a list for our air show planning
meetings. The air show Early Bird Discount Tickets will go on sale online this fall. VAC
members with a current membership card get in free to the air show and the Member’s
Chalet each day.

BACKGROUND:
ANNOUNCING THE VALIANT AIR COMMAND'S
2022 SPACE
COAST INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW
ALL NEW - ALL
DIFFERENT
There are
major changes.
COVID-19 has impacted the whole world in many negative ways and the Valiant Air
Command warbird museum, and its annual air show is no exception. The VAC had to cancel the
2020 airshow as the worldwide shutdown took effect. Maintaining our visibility in the air
show community, we participated in the limited Cocoa Beach and Sanford Airshows in 2021.
The success of these events allowed us to consider a 2022 Airshow. New Date
- New Name In order for the VAC to continue our honored tradition and
bring you a quality air show, we had to change. We were able to attract the Canadian
Snowbirds as our main performers, but the earliest the show could be held is May
2022.* We set the date and renamed the airshow as the:
Space Coast International Air Show
21-22 May 2022
New Operational
Model
The administrative and operational responsibilities are now under the conduct of B.
Lilley Productions who has responsibility for: ticketing, parking, VIP tents, vendors,
port-o-lets, support personnel, performances, and scheduling. As in our past
airshows, the VAC will need volunteers for the following areas: historians for 26 static
aircraft, food service booths, Member/Volunteer Tent, Beer Garden, Ice/Food delivery, and
limited golf cart drivers. If you are interested in volunteering, please call
321-268-1941 Ext 4102 before May 7th to be put on the Volunteer List.
Be aware of the following:
- The VAC does not control ticketing. This is an admission by ticket only airshow.
Advance tickets can be obtained by visiting the website - spacecoastairshow.org
- VAC MEMBERS showing their badges are admitted free each day through the Member Gate
only. New or renewing members can sign up and pay at the gate. All others must have
purchased tickets in advance or may purchase tickets for entrance at the gate.
- VAC Members must obtain wristbands when checking in at the Member Gate each day for
access to the VAC Members Only Tent.
- VAC Volunteers will be assigned a parking
site and transported to work stations. More information on this will be sent soon. VIP and
other Parking may be available for purchase on the website and not the VAC as in previous
years.

Valiant Air Command sets date, announces headline performers for 2019 Space Coast
Warbird Airshow
 Fresh on
the heels of an exciting and successful 2018 Space Coast Warbird Airshow, Valiant Air
Command's Airshow Director Bob Boswell has announced the date and the headline performers
for next year's event. The 42nd annual Warbird Airshow will be held March 15, 16
and 17, 2019 at the Space Coast Regional Airport. 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. Performing aircraft will begin late in the afternoon followed by a
twilight performance and a night show. After the night airshow portion there will be a
blockbuster fireworks display. Advanced Admission: Adults - $20, Youth (ages 6-12) -
$5
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
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 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. Advance discount
tickets are on sale at the Valiant Air Command website, at local Regions' Bank
locations, at the Titusville, Cocoa Beach and Melbourne Chamber of Commerce offices, and
at the Patrick AFB ticket office, and of course at the Warbird Museum, at 6600 Tico Road,
on the Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville. For further information call (321)
268-1941 or e mail the Valiant Air Command at Warbirds@valiantaircommand.com.
