The Virginia Air and Space Center is a historic achievements of aviation in Virginia. The first balloon ascent every time a ship, for example, a boat anchored Army Hampton Roads Union, held in 1861, and Eugene Ely became the first of what was considered first aircraft carrier, the USS Birmingham, anchored in the vicinity in 1910. Langley Aeronautical Laboratory, the predecessor of NASA Langley, was created. In 1927, USS Langley, a necklace to make, it was commissioned as an enterprise of the first aircraft of the Navy SU. In 1931, the NACA Langley opened the first large-scale wind tunnel capable of testing large aircraft speeds up to 118 kilometers per hour. In 1934, Newport News shipyard had built the first purpose built aircraft carrier, USS Ranger. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) became the Air and Space Association (NASA) in 1958 and the first American astronauts, the Mercury seven years, had trained at NASA Langley Research Center. The first U.S. transonic wind tunnel was opened to the NASA Langley in 1982.

The museum also serves as a refuge for the Langley Research Center based at NASA Langley Air Force. Four miles north of the museum, the U.S. military had bought land in December 1916 to construct, in cooperation with the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, an airfield. The army had then teams trained and tested aircraft there during the First World War in 1921, Brigadier General William "Billy" Mitchell led bombing trials to demonstrate the feasibility Langley Patrol and their effectiveness in destroying warships. Major General Frank Andrews has been pursuing an Air Combat Command, which became the precursor of Forces Air Force World War eventually became U.S. Air force today.

Virginie, although initially perceived as a shadow of Washington with the Smithsonian Institution on the National Mall, is a small State with respect is a journey along the many facets of aviation.
