PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Sept. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Palm Springs Air Museum brings rare P-63 Kingcobra and P-51 Mustang to National Championship Air Races in Roswell, NM.

Asked why they sponsor, UCR Group's Advisory Board Chairman C. Steve Reeder says, "God blessed us with the brilliant minds who created these incredible air machines. May we honor all the great people who have taken care of the past, who are taking care of the present, and who will be taking care of the future. I am grateful for the honor of supporting this fabulous organization."

LULU owner Jerry Keller quipped, "The Palm Springs Air Museum is the patriotic center of the Coachella Valley.  There's nothing like seeing and hearing the magnificent engines of the P-51 and especially of the rarely flown P-63 King Cobra."

"Thanks to our sponsors we are able to bring two vintage warbirds for demonstration flying at this year's event." The event takes place September 10 through 14, 2025 at Roswell Air Field in Roswell, New Mexico.
