It’s Back! Blast from the Past Senior Expo returns BY CHRIS BONANNO Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum, the site of the Boomer Bash Senior Fest on Nov. 7, offers an impressive display of vintage military aircraft. Those attending the Boomer Bash Senior Fest in the Valiant Air Command’s new events center will be admitted free of charge to the Museum. Senior and military admission is generally $20. Dress in 1940s and 1950s attire to participate in a costume contest. Centenarians are invited to attend the Expo. They will be honored in a special ceremony. “We have planes from World War II. We have the Vietnam era. We have just about every war that we’ve had that’s had flying planes in them. We have them from those eras,” said Jim Grammatico, a representative for Valiant Air Command.

The aircraft on display include the F-14A Tomcat; F-80/T-33 Shooting Star, decked out in Miss America paint; a Navy Blue Angels plane and the only flying XP-82 Twin Mustang in the world. Guests can use flight simulators in the museum, which is located at the Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville. The museum opened in 1977 and has grown substantially since then. “When we started, we had two planes, just two,” Grammatico said. “We had the Tico Belle and there was a biplane too, a Stearman. Today, we have 55 planes and more coming in all the time.”
