New paint job. Z8 is the actual
alph-numeric code that represented the 84th Troop Carrier Squadron (TCS); somewhere along
the line they had her "sister" unit's U5 ... which for years we thought was us.
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.

Statement of Purpose The Valiant Air Command Inc.was formed to
perpetuate the history of aviation, to encourage gathering of men and women in
camaraderie, research and Warbird restoration, to serve as an educational tool for young
and old alike; and to assure that the memory of those who gave their lives in service to
their country shall not perish. 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization Museum recognized by
the Internal Revenue Service
VAC's STEM programs open to
all
July 30, 2021 In recognition of the Valiant Air Command, Inc.'s highly successful STEM
program, the City of Titusville recently produced a video highlighting the program to
market to other potential school-age beneficiaries. We thought you'd enjoy seeing the
video and sharing it with school-age youngsters who may have an interest in an aviation
career.
Bill Teixeira who heads our STEM program for youth converted our classroom
sessions to online virtual sessions. Keeping young people who are used to interactive
skills learning has been a challenge. Joel McGinley has contributed his knowledge and
skills to these sessions. Bill along with Ron Davis have written and applied for a Walmart
grant to cover costs of classroom materials for the 2021 sessions. Everyone involved wants
to get back to our classroom at the VAC. The STEM sessions are offered free to
participating students.
