I love old aircraft, particularly the piston powered types and this museum has an impressive lineup to be sure. Sadly their facility is too small to properly display the planes and because they are all crowded in together it's hard to take good pictures of them. The wings of the Grumman Wildcat & Hellcat were folded as if for storage on an aircraft carrier - interesting, yes, but disappointing that one couldn't see the aircraft with the wings spread. There were also some planes in there that had little interest to me; I can see a Cessna 172 any day of the week without having to pay. Yeah, it's warm in the buildings but it's Palm Springs for heavens sake! The cost of airconditioning that hangars would be prohibitive. I would still recommend aircraft buffs visit this museum. It is nice to see the old warbirds; too bad they didn't have more room.

For a relatively small operation, this is really well done. Lots of volunteer veterans to chat with, which was a lot of fun. We learned a lot about the air wars, especially during WWII. There was a lot of information about the internment of Japanese Americans, which is a sad mark on US history...but a lot of positive and patriotic stories as well. There were a dozen or more planes and helicopters to see and you can go into a B-17 (Flying Fortress) and see the inner workings. Nice gift shop to find presents for the grandkids. If you have time for sightseeing...go to this museum.

If you like airplanes, particularly old planes you will love this museum. this is a good opportunity to get up close instead of watching in awe as they fly overhead.

Conveniently located on the far side of the International Airport, you'll find two hangars and a ramp full of flight capable historic military aircraft, lovingly tended and expertly presented by a cadre of expert docents. Aircraft are carefully placarded with model information and the aircraft's role in the military. Displays throughout the museum herald the history of aviation in our military - including an expanding display on Women in Military aviation. The museum has many educational lectures and special events, and often an opportunity to go fly. The gift shop, while small, has the obligatory t shirt s and models to take home. Don't miss this slice of living history!

If you have even a remote interest in our nations military/air history, you will love this museum. It has inside and outside venues with lots of detail all presented in immaculate settings.

All of the volunteers are so knowlegable and so helpful. So much to see. Would even do this again, there was so much to see.

Visited here with my wife and mother in law today. There are a lot of cool planes on display and info exhibits. A large and friendly volunteer force was present to answer any questions. We even saw a landing of an old B-29 at the airport next door while there! Well worth a visit and very educational

This museum is a must if you visit Palm Springs. The museum is rated in thetop 14 in the world. Visitors will see an array of WWII aircraft both from theEuropean and Asian war area. Of particular importance all of the restoredaircraft in the museum are flyable. For a town of approximately 45K Palmsprings has a world renowned museum. A must visit if you are in the area.

As a retired airman (RAF) the Palm Springs Air Museum is one of the best museums that I have visited. The site is extremely well laid out and all the exhibits are well documented. In Palm Springs it is a must go to attraction.
