I had heard about the Planes of Fame Museum a while ago. It is located in
Chino, California which isn't all that far from where I go in California when
I go there for work. So I decided to go out there and I can't say that I was
disappointed. They have alot of planes.
A Boeing P-26 Peashooter.
The Boeing F4B/P-12
One of my favorites - The P-51 Mustang
The Seversky P-35
A replica of the Wright Flyer
Another picture of another P-51
Not sure
In the back they have a pile of planes that I would hope get restored one of
these days, this is a F7F Tigercat. The plane was too late to see service in
World War II.
An F-100 Super Sabre, it looks like it might have been a target practice
aircraft.
An A-4 Skyhawk.
A MiG-21
A P-80 Shooting Star
A Gloester Meteor.
Not Sure.
A MiG-15, I think.
Another MiG-15.
A Sopwith Camel
A Sea Fury
An OV-1 Mohawk
A P-47 Thunderbolt
A P-38 Lightning, another one of my favorites.
A Dauntless
A Northrop N9MB Flying Wing. I think this was the plane where I first heard
about the planes of fame museum. They had it flying around before the Rose
Bowl a few years ago. And then they had a B-2 do a fly by. It was pretty
cool.
The Bell YP-59 Airacomet. This was the US' first jet and I was surprised to
see it here.
Another Dauntless.
The Grumman F3F, the last Navy Biplane.
