The San Diego Air & Space Museum’s site in El Cajon serves as an additional exhibit space for our growing collection, as well as a storage and restoration facility. Located at the northeastern corner of Gillespie Field, visitors can view various aircraft, including many examples of military jets, private sport aircraft and small racing planes. New additions at Gillespie include a reproduction of an FB-5, the first airplane designed specifically to take off and land on aircraft carriers, the last flight-worthy S-3 Viking, a rare P2 Neptune, and Baron Hilton’s iconic personal Staggerwing.

The Facility is Open to the Public

The restoration shop at Gillespie Field, like the one in the basement of the main Museum building, is staffed by highly skilled volunteers. In addition to repairing various historic aircraft, they are able to build authentic reproductions. Current projects include a flight-worthy Aeronca L-3 and refurbishment of the Museum’s MIG 21.

From a small one-hangar beginning, the San Diego Air & Space Museum’s annex at Gillespie Field has grown to become an integral part of the Museum’s aircraft restoration and replica reproduction program. Staffed mainly by volunteers, the Facility has produced some of SDASM’s finest work.

Of local significance, a Convair F-102A Delta Dagger recently completed restoration at the Annex. This aircraft was built in San Diego at Convair’s Lindbergh Field plant in the mid-1950s. Many of the volunteers who participated in preservation efforts actually worked on the F-102 while employed by Convair/General Dynamics.

The Gillespie Field Annex is also available for third party special events in a rare, spectacular setting for that important aviation enthusiast in your life. For more information, contact Katrina Pescador at kpescador@sdasm.org or at (619) 234-8291 Ext.
