2024 Palm Springs Air Museum Walking Tour

My wife and I take a walk through the very large Palm Springs Air Museum. The collection is mostly American Aircraft from 1940-1970. Some of it still flies and they give rides in P-51's, T-6's, T-28's, a C-47 and a T-33. Additionally they do maintenance and restoration work for customers with warbirds. There is a B-17 there that has been under heavy maintenance for the last three years. It will be flying again soon.
This video would be hours long if I detailed each plane but here in 43 minutes I take a peek at all of them. This is a walking tour, come have a look.

Thanks for this. We appreciate it. One note if you see a slightly open canopy on a plane its to allow them to breath in the summer heat if they are on the active ramp on the airport. Thank y6ou again for visiting us.

Thank-you for your reply. I did not know one could go inside the B-17 so I must come back. Also, visiting museums and filming aircraft for a hobby creates a deep dive after the visit. I research the tail numbers to find out everything I can about that plane in particular. For example your NAVY F-16 is a cool story. I hope to see you guys again soon.

Neat video to pop up on my feed during Airventure. If you enjoy b17s, i suggest stopping at the EAA Air Museum in Oshkosh. The Aluminum Overcast has sadly been grounded, but its a plane with great history. I grew up playing on it as a kid while it was restored, and after 30 yeas of touring, she is back home(in such a sad way)

Thanks for the info. Oshkosh is on my agenda when my plane is ready to fly.
