A beautiful collection of airplanes can be found in the Valliant Air Command Warbird museum, located close to Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Those are gorgeous!

Are the A-4 and F-11 airworthy? They certainly look it.

The fist few aircraft look good enough to eat let alone fly.

Nice to see the mats under the T-28 to collect the oil drips... I never did like spotless hangar floors :)

Nice collection of photos by the way.

Fantastic set of photos, the aircraft look in absolutely pristine condition. The F-14 just oozes desirability!

Was there last year and cant believe the volunteers have created such a beautiful F-11 from what i saw! Have they done anything with the F-100 they acquired last year?

The F100 is still a work in progress as is the ex Fleet Air Arm Canberra

I visited last year and found it to be a decent collection and well run. Centerpiece seems to be the Dakota,'Tico Belle', which offers pleasure flights.
