The Palm Springs Air Museum is gearing up for the National Championship Air Races, taking off at the Roswell Air Center from September 10–14, 2025—the first year this legendary event takes flight in Roswell after six decades in Reno. We’re proud to send two of our stars to the skies: the P-63 King Cobra “Pretty Polly” and the iconic P-51D Mustang “Bunny.” History, heritage, and horsepower. Roswell, get ready. | Palm Springs Air Museum
