The Naval Aviation Monument

The Naval Aviation Monument - We salute the proud heritage of Naval Aviation that has had many of its beginnings in Hampton Roads. Since 1910, many men and women have trained here, manning aircraft carriers, planes, ships and subs. Don't miss this beautiful Navy memorial on the Virginia Beach oceanfront boardwalk, honoring the airmen and women who help defend our country and protect all Americans.
Located next to the Norwegian Lady monument along the Virginia Beach Boardwalk, the Aviation Monument features bronze sculptures, by renowned sculptor and artist Mike Maiden, and laser-etched granite storyboards which feature significant historical aviation events including among other things:

Eugene Ely, the first aviator to accomplish a successful shipboard launch.

A World War II pilot and crewman.

A monument which includes the names of all aircraft carriers.
