Palm Springs Air Museum

The Palm Springs Air Museum is very cool; lots of vintage planes, vintage combat photos, art including fantastic murals and a nice gift shop.  It is the Home of One of the Nation's Largest Collection of World War II Flying Aircraft, the planes are in huge airconditioned hangars adjacent to the Palm Springs Airport.  It only takes around and hour or so to see the whole thing and well worth the trip. The day I was there they were having a Carnation Drop to honor fallen soldiers.  The crowd was filled with lots of Veterans and families, so there was lots of energy; definitely a great thing to do in the desert.
