milestones of flight air museum

Signs honoring special people that have contributed to aerospace projects in the area are placed along Lancaster Blvd. You can read as many as you like, depending on your time. Weather is usually great here, so outside is very doable.This is an area of the US that has contributed a lot to the aerospace industry, including Plant 42 where the Space Shuttle was built and maintained for years. If space pursuits interest you, this is the place to come. Other sites in the area as well.

I was visiting Lancaster on my way to Vegas from Paso Robles in June 2013. Being a bit of an aviation fan this was on my to do list. Mid June is hot in Lancaster and it was hot when I visited. Basically a couple of Hangars on Fox Field. Parked out the front and left my car running so my wife and daughter were comfortable. Had only about 40 minutes but well worth it. I was the only one in the Museum. Was given a guided Tour by a Gentleman who was ex Korean War Veteran with USAF. Cannot remember his name but a great guy and very informative. Had a look at the historical displays and aircraft both older and newer. This is not a Pima Air & Space Quality Museum but anyone interested in aircraft should come have a look. There are bathrooms (I think), no stair but the yard is not ashphalt. You need enclosed shoes. The aircraft outside are great and you cannot feel anything other than dismayed to see them rotting away under the California sun. Its a pity Corporate America does not throw some money their way for hangars. A nice addition driving to the Museum is the Musical Road, look it up on Google.
