The Valiant Air Command Museum (VAC) is situated at the Titusville Space Coast
Regional Airport (TIX). You should not experience any problems with flying into the
airport and actually parking your aircraft at the rear of the Museum which is situated at
the north end of runway 18/36. When you arrive, ask the ground controller for permission
to taxi up the alpha taxiway which will take you straight to the Museum.

The highlight of the year for the Valiant Air Command Museum is the annual TICO
Warbird Airshow which is usually held on the second weekend in March. This brings together
a large number of airworthy vintage aircraft and I would strongly recommend that you try
and get to the show if you are visiting at the right time of year. While the airport
itself is closed to visiting aircraft whilst the display is in action, there are no
problems with flying in before the display starts.
