Virginia Beach World War I Airshow cancelled due to weather

By General Aviation News Staff · October 1, 2015 ·

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – The Military Aviation Museum regretfully announces that the 2015 Biplanes and Triplanes Airshow, scheduled to be held Oct. 3- 4, has been cancelled due to the projected high winds and rain brought on by a tropical depression hitting the surrounding area this weekend.

There are no foreseeable alternative dates to reschedule the event this year, but is planned to return in 2016.

“Between the heavy rain affecting runway conditions and possible crosswinds coming off those strong winds from the north, we decided it was best to give our guests as much of an advanced notice as possible. We wanted folks to have the chance to plan ahead and avoid any unnecessary travel with such blustery weather conditions,” said Mike Potter, director of the Military Aviation Museum.

For attendees who have already purchased their tickets, they can either be turned in for a full refund or they can be exchanged for tickets to the 2016 Warbirds Over the Beach Air Show, coming up May 21-22. By trading in their tickets, attendees will save $10 per ticket on the normal Warbirds ticket prices. The refund policy only applies to purchased tickets.

Please stop by the museum, or call 757-721-7767 to obtain refunds, exchange tickets or for answers on any additional questions.
