Planes of Fame - 1

Planes of Fame
Chino Airport
Chino, California

Plane of Fame is more than a Military Aircraft Museum. Most of the planes are airworthy and are often used/flown for Hollywood (movies). Most of the planes are housed in hangars but a few are outside in the 'graveyard' awaiting reconstruction and ultimately ... flight. (FYI Chino is approximately 40 miles east of Hollywood.)

Like my other comment Gary. Nice contrast between the Mig and the F86 gun ports.

Upon close inspection of the F86, it looked as if someone painted a broom stick red and inserted said stick into the ports.

On the Mig 15, I believe that's the gun camera. The MIG 15 had three guns/cannons mounted under the fuselage at the nose.

They did indeed Gary - my mistake. I was impressed with the difference in finish and detail between the rather crude Russian and the more refined looking US aircraft.

Most of these aircraft are flown and/or get worked on. The planes will be moved to different location with different lighting conditions. The planes closer to the hangar doors enjoy bright directional lighting while deeper into the hangars the lighting diminishes and evens out.
