If you're into the old warbirds, Planes of Fame is the best airshow there is. Spectacular.

My father flew a P-38 F5 reconnaissance over Germany in the European theater of WWII. He was part of the 7th Photo Reconnaissance Unit. He loved the 38 - said it was the best plane ever made! He used to tell me how it’s abilities saved his life many times. In one mission, he was under attack by 5 enemy planes and managed to out-fly them all (remember F5 Reconn had no guns, just cameras) and get away. However, he took a lot of fire and lost one of his engines. He had to make an emergency landing in Sweden where they had never seen a P-38 or it’s “modern technology” before. It made quite a splash in the papers. Today, the yoke of his P-38 is on display at a museum in Sweden. Sadly, my father passed away in 1976, but not before he took me to an air show in Chino, CA., in 1975, where a P-38 was part of the exhibits, and I guess because he was a former 38 pilot, they let my father climb into the cockpit and he took me with him (I was a young boy at the time). I’ll never forget the joy and delight on his face as I saw him seat into that chair. He was one with that P-38! You could just see the memories pouring across his face... My father and that P-38 were like two old deep friends/partners reunited again after so many years. It was incredible and that moment left a lasting impression upon me that I’ve carried my entire life. If you aren’t already a member, and you love the P-38, I invite you to consider joining the National P-38 Association (p38assn.org) as there’s so much to learn and know about the 38!

I like so much because I'm remember during WW2. I was a little boy and I lived in Belgium near the Battle of the Bugle in december 1944. Many thanks to USAF for our freedom.

That little Whistle the P-51 makes ❤

If there is a more beautiful propeller plane than the Spitfire, I haven't seen it. R. J. Mitchell's design is timeless. It is a loss that he died so young.

That Spitfire !! - just pure beauty with a soundtrack to match.

Nothing beats the sound of a radial engine

That was my first airshow ever. So cool seeing all of those warbirds take to the skies. Can't wait to make it down there again.

No greater assembly of winged grandfathers than Chino Airport...Awestruck!

My Dad flew a P-51, shot down 1/2 Jack, crashed on t/o on Iwo Jima, came home helped raise 5 of us.

Absolute pleasure to watch and hear. Crank up the volume. You guys are so freakin lucky...so many warbirds and so many airshows. We are also lucky, no commentary so a huge thank you.

the p-51 mustangs have the best sounds ever that whistles it does it it gives me a serious adrenalin kick from this. but I seriously mean the planes from the 2nd world war I find more beautiful and cooler than now 😍😍😍

Look at all those wonderful warplanes! The Spitfire, the Warhawk, the Mitsubishi A6M5! And a B-25!!

P-40's are my fav, but love all those war birds. Heavy metal thunder at Chino!

Awesome too see beautiful planes the guys that fight for our freedom in 1940-45

So glad to see history preserved....and not just for display, but restored to air worthiness. I can't help but wonder how many of these ol' girls actually saw combat, and where. To fantasize about them reigning hell from the skies on the axis powers. Would be nice to know ?!?! Keep 'em airworthy guys !!! Great show.

So nice to see props that look like they are actually turning. So tired of ones that look static or are barely turning. Part of the grace of a propeller driven aircraft is, well, the propeller. Can't wait to see part 2. Thank you and God Bless from Florida.

Great video, thanks. I visited the show this year (from the Netherlands) and the 2 days were fantastic and it's great to see the warbirds again.

beautiful video . . The p-51D's made my hair on my arm stand up - gorgeous

ฺBravo Bravo all are the warbirds I"m proud of.
