| Come Grow With Us! |
The Estrella Warbirds Museum has always been known for its constant change and quality of the displays. If you have not been to the museum in a while, there is no better time then this summer to catch up on the latest aircraft, military vehicle or automotive display that has become part of the museum since the last time you visited.
If you have a little bit of extra time on your hands and are looking for a new hobby or willing to share your knowledge or even learn something new, we are always looking for
gift shop workers, docents or volunteers in the restoration or maintenance areas. We are all family and would like you to join us! It's fun! There are plenty of new friends to meet and enjoyable times to be had.
Contact us today! We'd love to hear from you.

A very special Thank You goes out to Michael Levine, Ed Hughes, Jason Holland (and anyone I missed) for the incredible job of upgrading our FA/18 Flight Simulator! The graphics are phenomenal! They replaced all the computer systems, monitors, viewing screens, and rewiring of cockpit controls. so you can have a tremendous flight experience you will remember for years to come. Our cockpit simulator was originally utilized at Lemoore NASB. The software we had been using might have been state of the art ten years ago... Thanks to all involved. They did a tremendous job and an incredible improvement over the previous system!
Reservations for the sim can be made on line (click above picture). A 30 minute flight runs $25 (not including museum entrance fee) and makes a tremendous gift for parents, sons, daughters, friends, etc. Please note. This is a former military FA/18 cockpit simulator. Some physical restrictions may apply.
Incidentally, if you have a little extra time each month and would be willing to learn how to operate the new simulator, we would love to hear from you and have you join the Flight Control Team!
