Exciting news! The plane repainting at Warbird Park is complete and the roundabout parking lot will reopen today, June 16.

The planes were stripped, washed and repainted this year as part of Myrtle Beach's continued effort to preserve military history. The monuments need a bit of extra love every few years to help battle typical outdoor wear and tear. The roundabout parking lot was closed while work was underway, but is now open for business!

Stop by 150 Farrow Parkway to see the new details on the popular display.
