The Virginia Beach Airport (FAA LID: 42VA) is a private civilian airfield located in Pungo, Virginia, approximately 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) South-East of Virginia Beach, Virginia.
It is the home of the Military Aviation Museum, which uses it to maintain, display, and fly vintage and replica warbirds; the aircraft are primarily from the World War II era, but they range from the 1910s to the 1950s. The facilities include an Art Deco main building, one grass landing strip, a checkered water tower, and a large number of medium-size hangars.
There are no commercial airline services at Virginia Beach Airport; most people getting from outside of Virginia to Virginia Beach use Norfolk International Airport in nearby Norfolk instead.
