WIN a UNIQUE Personal Behind-the-Scenes Tour of the facilities with the Museum Director, a FLIGHT for one of you in their Original, 1941 Stearman PT-17 Trainer that has been restored to flight! Enjoy a PRIVATE VIP dinner on the campus for FOUR, and $1,000 for your visit expenses!

The Military Aviation Museum (MAM) in Virginia Beach, VA has one of the largest collections of historic military aircraft in the world. It is also the largest flying collection on display in an individual location. To experience these airplanes just as they were 80 years ago means the Military Aviation Museum is the best place in the world to visit them. Anyone can pay the entrance fee and tour the Museum, but no one can purchase the exclusive “behind the scenes” tour and dinner being offered by this Sweepstakes.

Taken together with their private grass strip, their airplanes and facilities have created a small piece of Virginia where more than 85,000 people per year come to find aviation history living and breathing around them, offering an experience that is altogether unique, where people can experience the stories of what is sometimes called the Greatest Generation, so that you can understand how adversity was overcome through courage, sacrifice, determination, optimism, and teamwork.

Prize Details

Win the opportunity to have a unique personal behind-the-scenes tour of the facilities with the Museum Director, a flight for one of you in their Original, 1941 Stearman PT-17 Trainer that has been restored to flight! Fly for 30 minutes over the Virginia Beach area, and then enjoy a private VIP dinner on the campus for four, and $1,000 for your visit expenses! Unique because this is an experience not offered by the Military Aviation Museum to others, and when coordinating your visit with them it may allow you to see some of the many of their warbirds flying as well! We are proud to offer this opportunity in conjunction with the teaming between the First Flight Society and the MAM! Your experience can be taken on a date mutually agreeable to you and MAM (other than it cannot be redeemed on an MAM event weekend) within 12 months of winning.

Requirements for PT-17 Passenger

Rider or their Guardian will be required to complete a Flight Passenger Assumption of Risk, Waiver of Liability, and Release of All Claims prior to boarding the aircraft.

MAM reserves the right to refuse the flight due to limitations that would adversely impact your safety, the flight, or the crew, such as height and weight, physical or mental impairments, health complications, or any other issues that the management or pilot deems a risk.

The weight limit is 300 lbs. for passengers on a flight. Additionally, every passenger must be able to enter and exit the aircraft under their own power and without external medical devices (i.e. oxygen tanks etc.). The seatbelt and shoulder straps must also fit correctly, and secure the rider.

In the interest of safety, the staff or pilot may make the decision that it is unsafe to fly a passenger.
