Planes of Fame Air Museum, Aviation museum in Chino, United States
Planes of Fame Air Museum is an aviation museum at Chino Airport in California displaying around 150 aircraft across ten hangars. The collection includes fighters, bombers, helicopters, and jets spanning several decades of military and civilian flight.
Edward T. Maloney founded the collection in 1957 to rescue aircraft from scrapping. After stops in Claremont and Ontario, the museum moved to Chino Airport grounds in 1970.
The collection holds warplanes from several nations and eras, along with civilian aircraft. Visitors walk through hangars where restored cockpits reveal how crews operated these machines during missions.
The museum welcomes visitors Wednesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Guided tours run regularly, and a research library is available by appointment.
The Enterprise Hangar recreates a carrier deck and displays items from the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. Visitors see machines that operated from this ship in the Pacific theater.
