A Walk Through "Planes of Fame" Museum

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

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 KZread. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 KZread puts those controls there.

    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.

    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.
