Virginia Aviation Museum The Virginia Aviation Museum was an aviation museum in unincorporated Henrico County, Virginia , adjacent to Richmond International Airport . Erected in 1986, the museum housed a collection of some thirty-four airframes, both owned and on-loan, ranging from reproductions of Wright Brothers kite gliders to the still state-of-the-art SR-71 Blackbird . It is a subsidiary of the Science Museum of Virginia . The current building, known as the Martha C. West Building, was originally planned to be a temporary storage facility until the actual museum building finished construction. The museum closed June 30, 2016. The SR-71 was moved to the Science Museum of Virginia where it is on display. The remainder of the collection will be relocated and preserved, though a new location has yet be determined.Exhibits and artifacts SPAD S.VII, B9913 , built 1917 by Mann Egerton , United Kingdom - one of 19 that went to Rockwell Field Pursuit Gunnery School , San Diego, California in 1918.
