- This is a one hour long walk-through of the Planes of Fame museum in Chino, California. I visited several museums, many of them aviation museums, while I was in the Los Angeles area for three days as part of a planned layover between parts 1 & 2 of my "Train Odyssey 2", in May of 2018, which I have videos about here on RUclips. I will add the other museum videos when I have time to edit the raw video.

RIP - 19:08 The flying wing crashed today in Norco. Sad to think she’s gone. I had just watched this video yesterday for the first time. Insanely sad. Godspeed to the pilot.
THANK YOU SIR...I DID...😊 I LOST MY RIGHT LEG & CANNOT WALK...THIS IS A TOUR THAT I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO...GREAT LABOR OF LOVE ON THESE FLYERS....PEACE THROUGH AIR POWER!!!
In addition to being an aeronautical nerd myself, I really do enjoy your day out tours of these museums, so thank you!
Out front on the grass there lies a MiG-15, and as of a few months ago, there is an F-86 on a pedestal above it, symbolizing a Korean War kill. My old roommate, who owns a crane service, placed both aircraft, and was rewarded with a lifetime membership and a hop in the P-38 on one of their fly-day demos. Once a month, they spotlight a specific aircraft and perform a couple fly-bay’s. Almost 900 people came out just to see the P-38.

Thanks for the tour,it's like Jay Lenos' garage of aviation.
Amazing place. Looks like aviation heaven.
I used to be a volunteer at POF, this video really remind me of some good times. Thanks for the video! It was nice to revisit in some way.
Fun fact: The fire truck at 33:11 is used in the background of a wide angle shoot of the oscop HQ in the first spider Man move (reason for oscop in the side)
I feel like I have to say something about the b-17 G out front (that plane made me love aviation) she is the 200th to last made during the war, named Piccadilly Lilly 2. Was used in movies and TV shows about the war in the 50s.
日本是個好戰國家· 麻生太郎還想讓台灣變成戰場~這次風災就是為它而來·一定死傷慘重！
原子彈爆炸~真心想問：當年有多少日本人支持這場侵略戰爭？為著這場戰爭，侵略與被侵略的國家都付出計算不到的人命財產，真值得嗎？把自己的國民在不必要的情況下推上戰線，是滿足當政者的私慾，可恨！

Great to see The Gee Bee R-1 mock up we built at Dawn Patrol Aviation, Visalia CA, for 2003 LA county Fair's "100th Anneversary of Flight" exhibition.(45:04) In fact we sold it twice. First to the Fair itself, then later, they asked us to haul it away??!! After a bit of revamp it was sold again to Planes of Fame, same year.
The boneyard cracks me up, shows the durability of the WWII era aircraft in the dry climate there because a lot of those specimens haven't changed since I was there 40 years ago. That nose section in the back is indeed a B-50 rather than a B-29. It used to be right in the front area in the past but had never been enclosed or sheltered. It's the forward part of a famous B-50 that was the first to fly nonstop around the world via aerial refueling, the plane later crashed, hence just the front now.
Visited the place in 2013 with my friend who is an expert in WW1 and 2 war machines. Very impressive displays and salute to all volunteers running the museum.
Waaaaa! You walked right past the Gee-Bee (44:55 then again at 45:16)! The unmistakable shape of a 1930s racing aircraft that often proved deadly, even in skilled hands. BTW, the B-17 with the chin turret was the G model.
I was a passenger on a Connie from AIT to Oakland Army terminal Feb 1966 on my way to Nam .Saw some of of these over there. Was in a rice paddy when a Mohawk flew over so low he was spraying up water. Also I watched a Birddog spotter plane diving in n out of a valley drawing fire in order to locate the enemy for the fast movers to nape em. Was here for a airpower over Vietnam gathering when an individual in front of me said he flew birddogs in Nam. Told him in front of his son that birddog drivers had the biggest brass balls I ever saw. Turned out he was the one I had observed over there. Them n medics were above and beyond the call from my limited point of view.
It's amazing that people don't recognize a P 51B or C model when it did the escort work up to and through D Day before the Bubble canopy was introduced with the D model.
Grossman2868, what are you talking about? Who is "people"? If you imagine that just because you are familiar with variations of a particular aircraft that therefore EVERYONE ELSE should also be "up on that subject", and you find it "amazing" that they are not, then, well, you are badly mistaken and unreasonable in your expectations.
Back in the 1960's my dad use to take me to watch them film 12' O Clock High there the T.V. series.
In the mid 1980’s my wife and I would go every Saturday and do grunt work at the museum. Clean glass cabinets, wash floors, etc. My wife who never washed a window in her life would several times a years wash do the B-17 out front.
Love the TIGER TEETH ON the P-40N KITTYHAWK.Always been a FLYING TIGERS FAN.
I buit a 1/32 model of the very F-104 sitting back there once. Been to this museaum a couple of times.
That is too cool! Good job on the video. I'm going there for sure. Cheers!
Went there after AMA event and enjoy day... only thing that I wished that able to see cockpit closer.
This is right on my backyard!
My favorite place in this whole worthless planet.!!
Gendo Ikari, if the whole planet is worthless, then by definition this museum must also be worthless....so you are saying you like a worthless place?
I was shocked he didn't recognize the Hellcat, Tigercats, Skyraider, or Dauntless because of how distinctive they are the P-51A, P-51B and the AT-6/SNJ/BC-1 Texans are fairly understandable though
19:05 unfortunately the flying wing crashed a few months ago, :(
The pilot was killed, and the plane completely destroyed.
Yup.
It was known to be dangerously unstable, and that’s why the original program was canceled, so why they put it in the air is puzzling.
You didn't or couldn't identify most of the US Navy WWII fighter aircraft in those hangers, which included an F6F and great looking F7F outside. One of the hanger queens looked like it might have been a Ryan FR-1 Fireball, a transitional prop and jet plane that didn't pan out. There was also a rather sad looking USAAF Northrup P-61 Black Widow night fighter back in the boneyard area.
That Hiller helicopter in the junkyard used to be on top of the building that u were in. My grandpa used to have a L-19 Birddog in a hangar there. Now he just has his hangar.
I enjoyed it. I've always wanted to fly. I've come close but never got there.
The Red plane after the RADIOPLANE target drone is a Fairchild R24 with an Inverted Ranger engine, which I suspect is 175 horse since the prop is fixed.
The full size red airplane was actually a Culver PQ-14 target drone, although it could be flown by a pilot too.
Enjoyed your video big 👍🏻 up
I think the Reno air racer Tsunami had some history here
Missing is the original japanese val whos vertickle tail was missing and was replaced with one from some other aircraft,they did have a bt-13(val) replica from the movie tora tora tora brobably sold the real val like the ki-84 they had
3:36 the motorcycle was one in a raffle at the airshow then sold back to the air museum where it resides today... or at least I think
I know the Crusader had the variable incidence wing but he said the A-7 also? Wasn’t aware of that.. ??
The A-7 Corsair did not have the variable incident wing as the F-8.
I was there quite a few years ago it was enjoyable
Three airworthy P-38's. WOW!
Your video posted something about no sign on the P-51B? It's a P-51B
It could also be a P-51C-model.
The C-model is identical to the B-model. The difference is where they were built.
The B-model was built in California at the main North American plant there.
North American also set up another manufacturing plant in the Dallas, TX area which is where they built the identical P-51 C-model.
Howard DGA-5 Ike Aircraft at 45:24. DGA stood for "damned good aircraft". 🙂
you must know a lot about them planes i am from cailf from fresno and as close as i ever got was sitting in a f16 as a kids at the 144th fighter wing base a foster parent knew one of the pilots who flew out of there and set up a tour for our churches boys group we got to see everything there a fun time was had by all
Amazing they all look brand new. Nice they fly, but we don't want any crashes anymore. This year 2023 a king cobra collided with B-17...here in stuart,fla a couple years ago a Mohawk crashed and killed pilot. Old airplanes are diminishing.
Hello, I am Austin & I love helicopters. I wanted to state that the Helicopter flying up in the air is a AS350 series helicopter & the 1 that had the 3 seats in it is a UH-12 Hiller helicopter. I would know for sure what specific AS350 series helicopter it if only if u got it on camera.
just a suggestion not a criticism might want to edit out the drive time. fantastic content. thank you!!
Brian Grant, I take all reasonable comments kindly. However, almost all of my travel related videos are about ambience.....I try to put the viewer in a more complete frame of understanding. With most travel, part of the experience is about the 'getting there', what is the area around an attraction like? Also, I often include narration about the route to get there, or history or other context, etc. So that 'drive' you commented on is in the video very deliberately, not by accident or sloppiness during editing.
The viewer who does not value the included ambience is free to fast-forward, that is why RUclips puts those controls there.
18:25 as far as i know thats a Spanish Ha-1112 M1L Buchón, which are usually painted in German camo because propaganda
In first building, P51B model, P38H or J model
Please use more words. Nobody can make sense of what you wrote with so few words.
James Dougherty at the 4:35 mark, that P51-C is the "Boise Bee", which resides at the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa, Idaho. I am a volunteer there, and we frequently swap planes with POF, so a lot of these planes are frequent visitors to the Warhawk.
27:04 I believe that is a T-6 Texan and another one at 27:23!
I was do disappointed when he walked by one of the most important areas where golden age air racers were housed. Some were replicas, some authentic with phenomenal hustory.
19:07 Rest in peace you buety
How much does it cost to get in the Planes of Fame and Yanks museum at Chino???? Anyone know?
$12 for Planes of fame
That nose at 32:30 is a Convair 240
At the P-51 your on screen comment had incorrect spelling for Hangar.
Lewis Parker, it would not be the first time that I made a typo in a text caption on one of my videos. But I cannot fix it once uploaded, so I am not sure what you expect me to do now.
@@youtuuba Sorry, wasn't aware you could not correct it. I have run into this minor typo in AF and Navy documents where they could be corrected for obvious reasons.
You,ll Never hear a Pilot use the Term Tarmack cause there is no such thing its either the Aprin Taxiway or Runway.
🏆
The flying wing has sense crashed
The Mechanist, I think you meant 'since', and yes, it crashed (killing its pilot) a few years ago. I don't recall ever hearing the results of the investigation.
The Japanese plane is not ligit
Ben Chen, thanks for the most useless comment I have seen in quite a while. Provide more (a lot more) substance if you want your comment to stay up.
Now I don't have to go there
Thanks
B-17 H
Did you ever open a BOOK on Airplanes so that you know what you are looking at?
Why yes, I actually own over 300 books on airplanes, a whole room full of them. But in spite of reading them, I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of every last airplane ever built, and I am an older guy whose memory is far from perfect. In museums such as these, I have to rely a lot on what the little signs say, mixed with whatever my brain dredges up about them. Also, I am more interested in larger planes, not as much so with fighters and such, so in a museum like Planes of Fame, I have less knowledge that I can immediately recall while trying to walk and talk at the same time. Nobody promised that this video would be full of information; it is just what the title says, a walk through a museum.
Amazing what those guys do on probably a fraction of the budget of BLM.
This has got to be the most boring uneducated walk through one of the greatest museums ever.
Dude didn't even recognise the hell cat.
Taylor Asslick, what kind of non-contributing nincompoop writes comments like yours? You should be condemned to visit any other museum in the world, and then have a bunch of inconsiderate know-it-all fools chastise you for every little thing that YOU don't happen to recognise right off the bat.
@@youtuuba I know
I'm bad like that. Just trying to help
British Aircraft are weird ? don"t think so.
clive roberts, WHO "don't think so". Obviously, "I" think so, and if you step outside of your personal opinions, you might find that a LOT of aviation writers and publications have often voiced the widely held opinion that many, not all, British aircraft designs look weird compared to the majority of designs from other leading aviation countries such as Germany, Russia, other European countries, the USA, Japan. Clearly, a perceived odd looking design is not the same as a critique on quality of design, or quality of construction.
@@youtuuba what a load of rubbish
@@cliveroberts6154 , what a closed minded opinion. I have bookshelves full of aviation books, and having read them, I am informed by the frequent similar opinions voiced by the authors. It might be "a load of rubbish", but it is far from being just my own. And, I might add, a lot of those books are by British authors.
@@youtuuba Clive is cute.
He had to make two RUclips accounts under his own name, capitalized and uncapitalized!
He also answered you once each while logged in from both accounts.
That's pretty weird, don't you think? 😁
It looks pretty ghetto..im not paying $15 for that. Plus it's in the middle of nowhere,CA
