This unique tour takes you back in time to get an up close view of a World War II pilot training mission, last seen over 70 years ago.  You will fly over the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument and see the giant bombing targets bladed into the desert.  They resemble bull’s eyes or alien crop circles.

The targets were part a former training program essential to helping America win World War II.  In 1942, twenty-four targets were built in the desert to train bombardier pilots on the top secret Norden Bombsight navigational equipment.  Seven of the targets were built in the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks.  Each target consists of four concentric rings, the outermost being 1000 feet in diameter.
