VIRGINIA BEACH — The Flying Proms Symphony Air Show returns to the Military Aviation Museum in Pungo on June 16.
Gates open at 3 p.m. with the concert starting at 7 p.m.
Now in its 8th installment, The Flying Proms offers guests a truly unique experience, according to a news release from the museum.
Getting its roots from the United Kingdom‘s traditional Proms, the Military Aviation Museum’s Flying Proms is the only event of its kind in North America.
Virginia Wind Symphony will be the museum’s “orchestral partner” this year.
The event will feature aerial displays from the museum’s collection of historical aircraft, such as the Supermarine Spitfire and Messerschmitt Bf-109, accompanied by musical selections from popular aviation-themed movies.
As dusk falls, and the planes land, the second half of the event begins with an assortment of patriotic and pop music.
The air show will end with a fireworks display.
Guests are encouraged to arrive early to walk the museum grounds.
While food and beverage vendors will be at the event to sell dinner, snacks, beer and wine, guests are invited to bring their own picnics. Outside alcoholic beverages will not be permitted inside the gates.
Tickets online through June 10 are $30 for adults, $18 for those 6-17 years old – that changes to $35 and $20 starting June 11. Children 5 and younger get in free.
Private chalets are also available for groups of eight or more.
