WHAT IS OUR WARBIRD GATHERING? The WARBIRD GATHERING is an informal gathering of vintage, historic aircraft that takes place at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation. More and more Warbirds are discovering this event and come by to enjoy the camaraderie and the flying.
We never really know who is coming or what kinds of aircraft will be visiting. And, like all aviation fly-ins a variety of factors, including the weather, have a lot to do with who comes and what types of aircraft we have here.
Aviation photographers have frequently commented on the quality of the event and the aircraft. Most airworthy Warbirds are meticulously restored and maintained. Another advantage is the museum's location adjacent to the active runway. Visitors are able to witness and photograph the extraordinary airplanes as they take off and land and as they do individual and formation fly-bys.
ADMISSION & HOURS FOR THE WARBIRD GATHERING
Normal museum admission rates apply but during these special events, visitors are issued all-day wristbands that make it easy to come and go during the day.
Saturday 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Watch this website for more information about this up-coming event and pictures from past WARBIRD GATHERINGS.
In 2008, the Spring WARBIRD GATHERING will be held on April 5, the weekend prior to the beginning of Sun N Fun in Lakeland, Florida. If you are planning to fly to Sun N Fun, make the Tennessee Museum of Aviation a fuel and overnight stop on your way. You'll be glad you did. The Fall WARBIRD GATHERING will be held on September 27.
