The Palm Springs Air Museum houses one of the nation's largest collection of World War II flying aircraft displayed in modern, well lighted, air-conditioned and clean hangars. The Buddy Rodgers Theater shows daily documentaries about aviation in the military with an emphasis on World War II.

In addition to planes and historic artifacts, the museum is host to a library of 8500 volumes primarily related to aviation and American military history.

The Palm Springs Air Museum has the following components of the collection:
- One of the world's largest collections of flying WW2 warplanes
- Rare and original combat photography
- Original artworks, including enormous murals
- Artifacts, memorabilia, and uniforms of WW2
- Comprehensive graphics and historical themes
- Continuous video documentaries

Complementing the extensive displays, the museum sponsors Saturday commemorative educational programs for our visitors and members. These Saturday programs often include demonstration flights of our aircraft. On those days, members and visitors can participate in the sights and sounds of World War II or later conflicts as these programs dictate.
