Planes of Fame Air Museum, Aviation museum in Chino, United States

Planes of Fame Air Museum is an aviation museum at Chino Airport in Chino, California, founded in 1957 by Edward T. Maloney. Its hangars hold flyable and static aircraft, including a Japanese Zero captured on Saipan in 1944 that is still kept airworthy, plus a Mitsubishi G4M, Aichi D3A, J2M Raiden, D4Y Suisei and Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka.

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.
