So many people visit Palm Springs each year that it is hard to go anywhere in the world without people knowing about the city. Most of the people that come to Palm Springs to live or buy a second home or vacation home are merely tourists who visited and fell in love with it here. Who wouldn't fall in love with Palm Springs, as there is so many activities here, but you probably already know that.

What you may not know is that the Palm Springs Air Museum, next door to the Palm Spring's Corporate Jet Center and across the runway from the main completely remodeled air terminal is a flying museum. Nearly all the antique and WWII vintage aircraft fly. These aircraft fly often and there are frequent events going on all the time. The Air Museum also hosts traveling Palm Springs Air Museumexhibits like the Leonardo DaVinci working model museum.

The Air Museum is staffed with volunteers, all local and they know their airplanes. There is an Aviation Library up stairs, as well as a working simulator for "friends of the museum" club members. The gift shop has every type of museum gift imaginable for the aviation, military and space enthusiast in your family. And don't forget, everything still flys here.

Palm Springs Airport sits on a special Trade Zone designation, as it is an International Airport with connection daily flights to just about anywhere on Planet Earth. Whether you are flying in on one of the many daily non-stop flights, a connecting flight or in your own private aircraft or private fractional jet, Palm Springs Airport has it all.

 The Air Museum is a class-act and how befitting it is to have them right here in our own backyard.

Do you like to shop, watch movies, golf, fly, eat at the finest restaurants; then come visit us soon. If you love aviation and golf or just one of those two, then let it be known Palm Springs is the place for you? When was the last time you visited Palm Springs? Do you have a second home here or a vacation home?

I had no idea Elaine!  Thanks for the information.  Next time I am in Palm Springs I will be sure to visit it.  My Dad is a former pilot; I will have to ask him if he knew about it as I am sure he would love to see it too.

Thanks for posting on the Vacation and Second home group!  We appreciate your input in our little niche group.

That sounds incredible! That's better than our NASCAR museum at the Daytona Speedway. And you have so much history too!

Whooyaah! NASCAR Museum in Daytona, FL is way cool, I have been there too, have friends in Pontra Vedre Beach and we cruised the motorcycles there for the big rally and went to that museum, I sure like Daytona Beach, the speed way is cool too. Of course, Palm Springs, has a similar personality in many regards, both great places to visit or hang your hat?
