The Estrella Warbirds Museum has always been "the place to go" for local meeting, group dinners and company events.
If you enjoy working with people and groups and are interested in making some extra money each month, we are currently in need of a part time facility rental coordinator. Experience preferred.
Contact us today! We'd love to hear from you.

Yes, it is the same Huey!
The winter rains have not stopped any of the restoration going on at the museum. It won't be long before the UH-1D Huey, which has been in the fleet for many years, will have completed the restoration efforts returning it to the original color scheme and markings she had during her tenure in Viet Nam. The entire restoration crew has done an incredible job and are in the finish stages for the interior. Plans call for completion prior to the first of May. Stay tuned!
