The owner of a popular aviation museum that features one of the world’s largest collections of World War I and II-era planes is selling off his aircraft and said he may close the museum.

Gerald Yagen, owner of the Military Aviation Museum near Pungo, said on Monday he no longer has the money to keep the collection.

“I’m subsidizing it heavily every year and my business no longer allows me to do that financially, and therefore I don’t have a solution for it,” he said.

Yagen said nine groups visited the museum last week to look over his collection. So far, he said he’s sold two planes, a Boeing B-17, a heavy American bomber, and a Focke-Wulf 190, a single seat German plane. Both were used during World War II.

Yagen said he doesn’t know how many planes he owns. He said he has planes in Virginia Beach nobody has ever seen and planes around the world that will now never come to Virginia Beach.

Yagen said the four vocational trade schools he owns, including the Aviation Institute of Maintenance in Chesapeake, have been acquired.
“I just don’t have the money anymore,” he said.
