Join the Adopt-a-Plane Program

Palmdale's Adopt-a-Plane program allows interested groups to "adopt" one of the aircraft displayed at the Joe Davies Heritage Airpark at Palmdale Plant 42.

Groups who adopt a plane commit to cleaning the aircraft display on an as-needed basis, typically once per month. Groups should consist of 6-10 people for most planes. Cleaning should be done between 7 and 10 am, on selected Saturdays; other days are subject to approval. All cleaning tools and materials are supplied by the City of Palmdale. Adult supervision is required for minors.

Adoptions are available on a first-come, first served basis. As part of the program, all adopting groups will receive:

group name on a sign next to the aircraft
group name on City’s Web site
press release announcing the first scheduled cleaning
invitations to special events at the Airpark
recognition at annual awards ceremony

Planes available for adoption are subject to change, so please call to confirm availability. Saturday cleaning dates are also subject to change, so please call for current schedule.
