Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works division unveiled the secrets of its DARKSTAR aircraft at a special event at the Palm Springs Air Museum on 4th April. The demand to view the aircraft, originally manufactured for a major motion picture, has prompted the museum to organise a lecture and reception, featuring Brian Herschberger, one of the designers behind DARKSTAR.
The event, which begins at 6 PM, will include a lecture by Herschberger, who will share rare photographs of the aircraft. Light refreshments will be provided. Tickets are priced at $60 for the general public and $45 for museum members, with free entry for children 12 and under when accompanied by a paying adult. Tickets can be purchased in advance via the museum's website or at the door.
The Palm Springs Air Museum, located at 745 N Gene Autry Trail, houses over 80 vintage aircraft from various historical conflicts, including the F117 Stealth Fighter. The museum's extensive collection is displayed across 91,000 square feet of climate-controlled hangars and outdoor tarmac, offering visitors a comprehensive look at aviation history.
This event provides a unique opportunity for aviation enthusiasts and the general public to gain insight into the DARKSTAR project, highlighting the innovative work of Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works. For more information, visit the Palm Springs Air Museum's website
