Upcoming Events at the Planes of Fame Air Museum
With Covid cases reaching lower levels in Southern California, the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino is able to invite more guests through its doors. With that in mind, there are some special activities planned. This weekend will include the latest Flying Demo.

T-28 & P-51D Flying Demo this Saturday
T-28 & P-51D Flying Demo this Saturday
Planes of Fame Air Museum is hosting a "Flying Demo" of two incredible machines built by North American Aviation this Saturday (April 24, 2021) beginning at 11:45am.
The P-51D "Mustang" was an elite aircraft of World War II and continued to fight during the Korean War. The T-28 "Trojan" was the definitive training aircraft for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard throughout the 1950s and into 1980s. The T- 28s also served with distinction in Vietnam.
The event begins with a brief presentation about both of these versatile aircraft. After the presentation, get ready to hear them roar as both aircraft fire-up their 1,500 hp engines. They'll then taxi away and fly over the Museum for approximately 20 minutes. The flight of both aircraft can be seen from anywhere in the outside areas of the Museum campus.
Pilots Dan Hill (T-28) and Ken Wagner (P-51D) have graciously volunteered their aircraft and their time to help with this event, and they'll both be available for questions following the flight.
Doors to the Museum open at 10:00am. Discount admission prices to the Museum are in effect for this family-fun event. Guests are asked to wear a face-covering while at the Museum and maintain social distancing.
More Saturday Fun!
All the Museum's hangars are open for viewing. Guests can see the majority of the aircraft up-close and wander through many of the hangars while they learn about the collection and aviation history from our team of Museum Guides.
The Boeing B-17 will be open for visitors to enter and gain a unique perspective on the important role this aircraft played during World War II. We've got some pretty cool cars visiting us on Saturday - everything from high performance muscle cars to sports cars to classics and beautiful restorations! This event is hosted by Secret Car Club Events, and the cars will be on display as their owners enjoy the Museum.
