The Palm Springs Air Museum is a nonprofit living history museum where visitors explore aircraft from World War Two, the Korean War, Vietnam War, and the Global War on Terror. Many aircraft in the collection are in flyable condition. Visitors view static aircraft, permanent and temporary exhibits, artifacts, and artwork while veteran docents share their experiences. The museum offers programs including a World War II Scavenger Hunt where visitors find twelve items for a prize, and Saturday open-cockpit sessions in the Supermarine Spitfire Mk XIV where docents explain aircraft history. Warbird rides in the C-47 Skytrain, PT-17 Stearman, T-6 Texan, T-28 Trojan, and P-51 Mustang let visitors fly over the Coachella Valley. The museum is located in Palm Springs, California, and opens daily. Active duty military and immediate family including significant others and children receive free admission. Visitors with an EBT card and government-issued ID qualify for $5 per person admission, up to four adults, according to palmspringsairmuseum.org.
