Jet Fighters Tour at Air Victory Museum

The Air Victory Museum on the South Jersey Regional Airport in Southern New Jersey is worth the stop. Its exhibits, which focus primarily (but not entirely) on jet warbirds, are nicely assembled and there are plenty of aircraft, engines, and accessories to see. Main attractions include the 59th F14A Tomcat built and delivered to the U.S. Navy in 1974. It flew the Operation Frequent Wind—the evacuation of Saigon. There’s also a preproduction F4A Phantom II delivered to the museum from Lakehurst NAS, an A-7B Corsair II that also retired from Lakehurst NAS, an F-86L Sabre, an A-4C Skyhawk that served at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, plus a variety of other machines.

For this video, Larry Anglisano walked the museum floor with volunteer John Suttles, who offered an outstanding tour of the exhibits and engaging commentary along the way.

Great coverage, Larry. As a suggestion, could you please include the airport code when you do these? Guessing it’s KVAY? There’s nothing listed in FF about this museum.
Thanks

It’s KVAY, South Jersey Regional (not the nearby N14 Flying W).

Thanks. I heard the other day Flying W (N14) had been sold to developers.

Now there is a place from the past! ‘Flying W’…..I used to fly my Aeronca Chief, then my Ercoupe to N14 Flying W from N07 Lincoln Park NJ back in the early 1970’s! I lived up there back then.Now ironically, I live by Flying W and KVAY!
Sad to see it sold to developers!

Just being picky, but it’s the Air Victory Museum, not Victory Air Museum.
