If you're an aviation buff, this park is a must see. Amazing planes here and very informative plaques. There were a few missing placques and some were rather weather worn, but that didn't detract much from the visit.

Es ist ein kostenloses kleines Museum mit kleinen Tafeln wo etwas zum Flugzeug drauf steht. Es gibt auch Picknick Bänke unter den Flugzeugen.

This free history park, donations accepted, is an excellent stop for a good sample of military aircraft. The highlight is the SR71 and A12 aircraft parked right next to each other along with an intact engine on a cart along w a D-21 drone . Excellent signs and history details abound. Bring water, this is the desert and it can be hot.

Blackbird Airpark in Palmdale California is a beautiful site. We visited on a day when it was closed…it’s only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday…but we were able to walk around the outside fence and still get a nice look at the collection of aircraft history. Loved seeing two SR-71 Blackbirds next to each other along with U2 Dragon lady version. They have. 747 on the end of the park that NASA used to fly the space shuttles. Super cool to see in person! Lockheed Martin Skunkworks is located just down the road on Sierra Hwy as well. The town created some amazing aircraft just outside of Edwards Air Force Base. Be sure to give it a visit sometime!

My dad's favorite plane.
Whenever I drive by I always think of him.
As a kid he would take me to the annual airshow at Edward's Airforce Base in Mojave and boast about how the Blackbird was the biggest and baddest of its time.
Pretty cool to see this (now decommissioned) plane up close and personal.
The volunteers are polite, professional, and knowledgeable.
Enjoyed going with my mom this day.

Didn’t realize it would be so big. Technically the blackbird park part is small, but attached to the Palmdale operated portion of the museum. They are open at the same time and both free. Nice amount of shade and well designated paths. Really awesome collection of original aircraft that have operated at Edwards and elsewhere.

I was looking for things to do while in Lancaster/Palmdale one weekend, and stumbled across this place on Google maps. I drove down and decided to check it out after some other errands I had to run, and it was well worth it. I spent an hour or two here, most of which was talking to the staff, volunteers, and veterans that were hanging out in the air conditioned gift shop. Needless to say, I loaded up on patches and coins before checking out the aircraft. Speaking of them, the static displays were well-kept and the park was clean. Definitely recommend checking it out, especially if you are an aircraft enthusiast.

This visit was loved, I had tried to come several times and always closed but today we made it... although there was 97 degree sun, free entry and beautiful planes to see... if you are a fan of NASA this place is for you. ..and the gift shop a lot to buy from $4.99...Visit this place you won't regret it.

Very nice little (free museum) supported by volunteers. 2xSR71’s and a drone plus other mystic jets. We have been told a former SR71 pilot was coming on sundays…. (Those guys are true pilots and heroes).
