Annual Memorial Day Air Fair and Flower Drop

This is a very special day at the Palm Springs Air Museum. Our Memorial service is dedicated to all of our fallen comrades, who paid the ultimate price for our freedoms. In their honor, we highlight the service with a fly-by and flower drop of over 3,000 red and white carnations from Semper Fi, the only flying Mitchell PBJ-J1 bomber (US Marine Corps and US Navy versions of the B-25). This most impressive ceremony is our way of saluting our fallen comrades. Visitors are welcome to pick up a flower to take home. Flight exhibitions & activities are scheduled all day long. Lockheed Martin Skunkworks’ DARKSTAR will also be on view this day. Flower Drop Memorial Ceremony starts at 1PM, Flowers expected to drop by 2 PM. Regular admission prices apply. Kids 12 and under free with paid adult admission. Celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the US Marine Corps.
