This set of photos was taken at the Chino Planes of Fame Museum. The museum has over 150 planes and many of them are in flyable condition. They  just had this old Bi Plane out for a ride.

This hanger is all aircraft carrier planes from WWII. I never realized it before but the US did not have any jet planes in WWII. They were all propeller planes.

The museum has mostly WWII era  aircraft but they do have others.

In this hanger they had jet planes. This one is a Russian built MIG 17. Of course the red nose cone comes off, as it is the intake for the jet engine.

Not only does the museum have an excellent collection of US built planes they also have the largest collection of Japanese built WWII planes in the world.

There wasn't any explanation about this plane but it apparently had been shot and was able to land intact.
