Chino's planes of fame
 

Hi All

A very interesting site with some great photos of old war birds and some great vehicle shots as well. Enjoy. :thup2:

Allied or German bounce house?
 

I'm still trying to figure out how they fit the bounce house into the battle scenario?

Kidding aside, great pics and thank you for posting them. I was lucky to visit both the Planes of Fame and the Yanks Air Museum at Chino Airport some years ago and have never seen a greater concentration of aircraft since. For those of you interested, Neil Armstrong hosted a television series based upon the ac collection there.

really great shots, not the same as the 70's though, the show's of that time would push 50-100 warbirds, Chino has been a major warbird hub since WW 2 and in 46' & 47' it was a very sad place with 100's of warbirds getting chopped there, the Planes of Fame collection started in the 50's as Ed Malohney's Planes of Fame Museum, they had a major Axis collection the most interesting being all the Jap aircraft, many rare warbird's have been sold over the years to keep the museum going, there is also a restoration section in the museum that has done many high grade private restorations including production of 3 brand new Zero airframes, there are many more aircraft that did not show in the photos, if you ever get the chance to get there , GO, many collections and museums at the Chino Airfield,
