Wings and Rotors Air Museum                   General Information

WE HAVE MOVED TO A NEW HANGAR! WE ARE STILL AT FRENCH VALLEY BUT ARE NOW IN THE CENTER AREA OF THE AIRPORT. WE ARE LOCATED NEXT TO THE NEW JET CENTER FBO. We are in the process of required upgrades to our new location to allow us full public access-ie rest rooms, new entrance door etc. When finished we will have a grand opening event, please check back for updates! The upgrades, gift shop and display building offer great sponsorship opportunities and we need your support! Please call us for information on how you can help!! We are still open by appointment-please call us at 951-662-5653 address-MAIL  37350 Skycanyon Dr. Hangar 7,  Murrieta CA. 92563 UPS/FEDX-physical-same as above

The museum is located at French Valley Airport, in Murrieta, Ca. which is situated off of Winchester Rd. (SR-79), just east of I-215.    We are currently in two hangars near the new Jet Center FBP. This location will have public access and parking. The museum still needs to raise funds to help with higher lease fees, the installation of restrooms and a new entry door with a sidewalk.  This will then allow the public to come anytime we are open.

UNTIL our new hanagr upgrades are completed, due to security concerns at the airport,  there are locked gates to the area we are at, therefore we operate on an appointment basis-call us first and we will get you in. If you fly in, then you will just need to taxi or walk over to the Jet Center-we are in Hangar 6 & 7.   We are there Monday-Friday, 6:30am-3:00pm, and in the summer we will be there on Saturdays. We are pursuing an agressive air show schedule, so there may be weekends where we are out of town. Check our airshow page to see where we will be and when.    The airport has a great Cafe, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.   We currently do not charge admission-but ask for a tax deductible donation of $3.00 to see our aircraft up close and visit our restoration hangar as well. Our aircraft fly, so their expenses are much higher than that of static (non-flying) aircraft.

We take great pride in our restorations striving for exact historical accuracy in their appearance, and learning as much as possible about the units they may have served in. It is our belief that we better serve the public and veterans by being as accurate as possible down to the last detail.   Wings and Rotors Air Museum (formerly Whittier Aviation Museum) is 501 (C) (3) not-for-profit organization that relies on donations to operate. We offer many different sponsorship opportunities both for corporations and individuals. No donation is considered to small!   We also welcome donations in-kind such as display materials, restoration supplies, aircraft, aircraft parts, tools and artifacts. We will soon be displaying artifacts and welcome gifts from veterans and their families. Items we are need of can be found on our museum "wish list". If you are interested in donating artifacts or other materials, let us know!

If you would like to visit, please call us in advance at-     951-662-5653 or     909-225-7627 or email us for an appointment-
