Over 12 years ago, Santa Paula Airport began what is called the "First Sunday of the Month" or "First Sunday at the Airport". On the first Sunday of each month (except for weather and national holidays) aircraft of all ages and types are displayed and hangar doors are open with docents on hand to give free tours. News of the First Sunday at the Airport has spread by happy visitors and magazine and newspapaer articles. Pilots from other airports are flying their classic airplanes in to display and enjoy the day.

Added features of the First Sunday are automobile clubs, airplane rides, The Young Eagles Program (call Neal at (805) 647-6994 for information), and The Gift Tent....Volunteers have been selling aviation related items for years as a fund raiser for the Aviation Museum of Santa Paula. The Gift Tent has great items at reasonable prices, all items are tax included and all proceeds are for the museum.

Currently we have Museum Hangar #1, ribbon cutting was in February 2000, and the "Chain of Hangars".... Please see our website.

The visiting hours for Museum Hangar #1 and the Chain of Hangars are currently 10 A.M. to 3 P.M. first Sunday of the month or by appointment. Our goal is to have the Museum opened more and we will post any changes.

Our mission statement is:
To educate the public of all ages in aviation and its history, both in general and as it relates to Santa Paula and to inspire, motivate and challenge the younger generation to carry on the dreams of our aviation pioneers.

Any questions please call the Museum office (805) 525-1109.
