The 11am tour sounds like a plan, the tour is roughly about an hour. I'd check the weekend thing but that was the situation for us in 2014 and 2019. Back in 2014 you could just walk in and book the tour but they changed it around 2018 and you have to apply for permission to enter the Air Force Base. I think the reason its closed at weekend is due to the fact the base and the museum are two totally different entities. When we got to the entrance of the base we all had to get off the bus and enter a holding area whilst the security went through the bus with a dog...all part of the fun. I was at Duxford back in September last year. The wifes brother was part of the ground crew for the Sally B B17 for many many years but in all those years the wife never got to go to see the plane. She was totally made up to eventually see the plane she had grown up with. Im hoping to go to Duxford again this year as I thoroughly enjoyed the place and the experience. The museums at Palm Springs and Mesa, Phoenix , are they both worth a visit? We are planning another trip to Pima April 2022 as part of another SoCal/ AZ/NV roadtrip. Will be in Palm Springs for the Aerial Tramway and in Phoenix hopefully for some baseball and stock car racing.
