The Flying Circus is the longest continuously running airshow in Virginia, and perhaps the world, with hundreds of thrilling performances over its forty-four year history.
This is a hidden gem of pre-war Americana! Affordable. Fantastic staff of volunteers. Bring your umbrella or canopy and enjoy a fun afternoon watching a throwback to the barnstormers of the 1930s and… Full review by chriscapistron

I checked their website to confirm and yes you can bring pets, but they have to be leashed at all times, cleaned up after and they caution you that the planes and Pyrotechnics during some of the acts are really loud, in case your dog is frightened by loud noises like fireworks.
My wife is handicappped and needs to use a walker and can't walk a long distance. What facilities do you have for handicapped spectators? I'm assuming you have handicapped parking but what about seating and walkways to the stands?
A:
There are no stands. They have some chairs and some hay bales and parking is on the grass, but it isn't a long walk from the parking area to the spectator area. It is a ways to walk …
There are no stands. They have some chairs and some hay bales and parking is on the grass, but it isn't a long walk from the parking area to the spectator area. It is a ways to walk to the restrooms, however. A walker should be fine, but there are no walkways, just grass. If you are coming on your own and can bring a chair, there are places to set up your own chairs. There is a snack bar, but it is on a raised level, so it requires stepping up. Except for a small section of folding chairs under an easy up, the seating is all in the open, no shade, so it can get pretty warm. I suggest dressing for warm weather sun screen, hats. A parasol or umbrella would work as long as you are not blocking the view of other spectators.
How many people typically take the rides? Wondering how early we have to arrive in order to get tickets. If you need to be there as soon as the gates open, what other activities are available to kill time until the show? Will be traveling with a 6-yr old and 3 1/2 hours is too long to ask her to just sit and wait.

Rides are after the show and seemed fairly casual when we were there. I don't know if tickets are pre-sold. If you get there early, there is a snack bar and you may be able to arrange …
Rides are after the show and seemed fairly casual when we were there. I don't know if tickets are pre-sold. If you get there early, there is a snack bar and you may be able to arrange rides or certainly observe planes and talk to pilots. This is a small venue with no more than 100 people per show -- but great for a 6 year old. Whether or not you take a ride, the pilots will share the history of their planes and let you observe them. An enjoyable day for kids.
