HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 126 

Commending The Flying Circus Aerodrome and Airshow. 

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 2, 2020 

WHEREAS, The Flying Circus Aerodrome and Airshow, an 
International Aviation Ambassador located in Bealeton, is celebrating its 50th 
year of entertaining and educating visitors from around the Commonwealth, the 
United States, and the world in 2020; and 

WHEREAS, established in 1970, The Flying Circus is one of 
America�s best and longest-performing weekly airshows and preserves the legacy 
of the �barnstorming� aerobatic shows popular during the Golden Age of Flight 
in the 1920s and 1930s through majestic stunts, the performances of daring wing 
walkers, and the use of modern high-performance aerobatics aircraft; and

WHEREAS, The Flying Circus and its associated aviators have 
preserved, maintained, and kept in operational condition dozens of historic 
planes in order for the public to experience firsthand what amazed and thrilled 
Americans generations ago at the dawn of the age of human flight; and

WHEREAS, while most of the aircraft involved in the show are 
privately owned, the Flying Circus Aerodrome and Airshow�s own silver and black 
1943 Stearman biplane plays a pivotal role in opening skydives and wing-walking 
acts; and

WHEREAS, aviators affiliated with The Flying Circus have 
unselfishly performed throughout the United States, bringing this unique 
experience to countless people who would not otherwise have such an 
opportunity; and

WHEREAS, The Flying Circus and many of its past and present 
pilots and administrators are members of the Virginia Aviation Hall of Fame and 
have been an integral part of Virginia�s aviation industry and aviation history 
communities, vividly bringing to life aspects of the Commonwealth�s leading 
role in American aviation supremacy; and

WHEREAS, The Flying Circus has developed programs for the 
public to ride in these historic planes and to further educate all interested 
parties in the magnificence of these early mechanical marvels; and 

WHEREAS, over the past 50 years, The Flying Circus has 
supported the dreams of numerous volunteers and amateur pilots to advance into 
aviation careers, including military, commercial, general, historical, 
experimental, sport, and professional performance aviation; and

WHEREAS, The Flying Circus and its volunteers provide 
charitable aviation support to several worthy causes, including Wounded 
Warriors, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Angel Flights, hospice care, Scouting, youth 
programs, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education at 
local schools; and

WHEREAS, The Flying Circus has inspired generations by 
exhibiting the glorious tapestry that is the �Spirit and Love of Aviation�; 
now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, That The Flying Circus 
Aerodrome and Airshow in Bealeton hereby be commended on the occasion of its 
50th anniversa
