Sitting at the truckstop an was watching this blimp take off circle and land. Was pretty cool to see
What a great find!! Did you know this air field trained over 11,000 war pilots!! Easy access for car or RV, this is a CA must see location! We stayed over night with Harvest Host in our RV. We were given a private tour of the museum which is actually in the original fire station for the air field. “Mike” took us us a tour of the entire air field!! We saw the workshop, original fire truck, hanger and a blimp that is renting space for a month! Plenty of memorabilia, models, uniforms and photos from the history of this base! Great job by the 100% volunteer staff!!
Wonderful WWII Air museum. They have a lot of cool history recorded with a lot of displays and some non-flying aircraft. Visited with Harvest Host membership. Great easy parking for the RV. Nice large, flat, gravel area. The staff was great. Lots of great local stories and history.
Great Air Museum regarding the largest training operation for pilots on the West Coast during WWII.
Excellent air museum well worth the visit.
