About Planes of Fame Air Museum

Planes of Fame Air Museum sits at Chino Airport in California and displays a large collection of historic military and civilian aircraft. The museum keeps a fleet of airworthy vintage planes that it flies at events, and visitors can see many of them in hangars. Guides are available to share the stories of the aircraft and their roles in history. The site also includes an education center, a research library, a model room, and a gift shop. A Santa Maria location was announced as a future expansion, with its opening expected in 2026.
