Heritage STOL Competition (Short Takeoff and Landing) 2025

Heritage STOL is an exhilarating STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) competition set to take place at the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, VA. This event promises an exciting showcase of skill and performance. Pilots from various backgrounds will converge to demonstrate their aircraft's impressive capabilities in terms of short takeoffs and landings. As a bonus, this competition will have important historical context as National STOL's partnership with the museum places these modern aircraft in relation of their military predecessors. Your ticket includes admission to the museum so you have the opportunity to view their entire collection and learn more about the origins of aviation in America.

National STOL competitions aim to be a family friendly day out at the airport for both airplane enthusiasts and those new to general aviation! Be sure to check the weather and plan accordingly with hats, sunblock, jackets, or rain gear as necessary. We look forward to sharing this unique STOL event and slice of history with you!
