Memorial Day Flower Drop

This is a very special day at the Palm Springs Air Museum. Our Memorial service is dedicated to all 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 a B-25 Mitchell bomber. This year the flowers will drop from Semper Fi, the only flying Mitchell PBJ (Marine and 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 scheduled all day long. Flower Drop Memorial Ceremony starts at 1PM. Flowers drop after the Missing Man formation, around 2 PM.  Lockheed Martin’s DARKSTAR will be on view in one of the hangars.

• Kids’ Activities
• Multiple Food Vendors (see list below)
• Live music from Heatwave Jazz Band

FLIGHT EXHIBITIONS STARTING AT 10AM, FLOWER DROP CEREMONY STARTS AT 1PM
