Chino
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,
