Without doubt, if you love old aircraft, you can clamber in a B17 here and have it all explained to you by peopl who know everything about ircraft. These guys and galls work volentarliy and need medals. This is a place to visit
This year was our second visit to this excellent museum when we were invited to a special event held in one of the hangers. We were impressed once again by the comprehensive collection of WW II planes and memorabilia, informative staff, and hands on exhibits. The museum is fascinating and well worth a visit when in Palm Springs. Allow several...

The volunteers are great. Lots of interesting stories and they have a huge library. If you have a particular interest, ask one of the docents if there is any material in the library about it. I learned about aircraft carriers on Lake Michigan. Where else can you climb through a B17 bomber at such a nominal fee? GO!
This Air Museum is divided between the pacific and the European battlefields. They have a running video about the WACS (Women's Air Corps) which is informative and fun. Several of the planes are open to climb upon. And there are lots and lots of memoribilia and displays. Docents/volunteers run the museum and are very helpful.
Lots of ww 2 planes kept in excellent shape. Our docent retired vet. Very very well informed and happy to share his knowledge.

The museum...

We went to the Palm Springs Air Museum yesterday. You need about two hrs to really see all the aircrafts and exhibitions. My husband and his brother were in aircraft heaven.... My sister in law and I also enjoyed the history. They have volunteers in every room to help explain things, great historians. Well worth the stop.
