Warbird Hangar Tours

​

The Capital Wing will have an "Open Hangar" for Warbird Hangar Tours every Saturday between now and April 25. Hours are 10am to 2pm. Admission is $10 per person or $30 per family of up to five people. (Cash preferred but credit cards accepted via a QR code.)

 

The Capital Wing hangar is located at the Culpeper (VA) Regional Airport at the end of Beverly Ford Road at Rts 15/29 in Elkwood, VA. Please use the hangar door at the front of the hangar.

​

A Capital Wing docent will take you on a tour of our warbirds and provide interesting information about each one. Depending on which warbirds are in the hangar (some may be at events flying warbird rides) you'll see the following unique aircraft.

​

• French Alouette II, world's first jet powered helicopter

• Stinson OY-1 Sentinel, flew combat missions at the Battle of Saipan June 1944

• Fairchild UC-61 Forwarder, used by the Coast Guard in WWII as an anti-submarine patrol aircraft

• North American SNJ, advanced trainer

• General Motors TBM Avenger torpedo bomber, largest single-engine bomber of WWII

• Vultee BT-13 Valiant, basic trainer

• Piper L-4 Grasshopper, flew combat missions at the Battle of Bastogne December 1944

​

Visitors can take a self-guided tour thru the small museum at the rear of the hangar.
