The Flying Circus Airshow takes place every Sunday from May to October at the Flying Circus Aerodrome in Bealeton. The airfield is located 16 mi (26 km) southeast of Warrenton, Virginia. The Flying Circus airshows have been running for over 50 years in Virginia.

The airshow starts at about 2: 30 pm. The main highlights of the program include formation flying demonstrations, jaw-dropping wing walkers, classic comedy routines, and unlimited aerobatics. Airplane rides are available for purchase before and after the airshow. Visitors can choose between a standard 10-minute ride or a 15-minute aerobatic ride, which includes aerobatic maneuvers, such as Spin, Aileron Roll, Barrel Roll, Loop, Snap Roll, Cuban 8, and Split "S." The airshow and rides are subject to weather conditions, so check with the Flying Circus website to make sure the airshow will take place.

Flying Circus Aerodrom was founded in 1970 by a group of aviators who wanted to fly replicas of WWI aircraft to simulate the "barnstorming" entertainment, popular during the post-war period. The planes used during the airshow include 1943 Stearman, used for the opening skydives and the wing walking, 1939 WACO used for "fly together" rides, and 1942 Stearman 88 used for a variety of acts during the airshow,
