Palmdale Regional - Air Force Plant 42

1Blackbird Airpark and Heritage museum

At this spot you will find the Blackbird Airpark and the Joe Davies Heritage Airpark located next to eachother. The Blackbird Airpark just consist out of three aircraft; an U-2, an A-12 and a SR-71. The Joe Davies Heritage Air Park is a quite larger airpark and is still expanding. Its current collection contains 15 different restored aircraft.

2Sierra Hwy - Ave N

This spot is the best and most common location for photos. Most of the aircraft tend to bank here for landing or after take off. You can position yourself just north of Avenue N, near the Flag Pole.

3Ave M - 50th St

This spot is very suitable when aircraft landing at runway 22 or are in the pattern for runway 25. You can position yourself along the 50th Street, near the intersection with Avenue M.

4Palmdale Regional Airport

Overhere you will find the small passenger terminal of the Palmdale Regional Airport. From the side of the terminal, you will have a view onto the small civil apron. Due to the lack of civil flights, you should not expect a lot of action here.

5Lockheed-Martin Skunk Works gate

The gate of Lockheed-Martin Skunk Works is marked by a preserved F-104 and a preserved F-16. Both were previously owned by NASA. They are displayed outside the fence but asking permission for making photos is advisable.
