Very, very nice museum. The aircraft are superb and some are very rare. The exhibits are logically arranged by date and the whole museum makes sense and has context. I liked that each staff of this and the Planes of Fame recommended each other. They are only 5 minutes apart and if you plan well, you can get both in. Low cost and well worth a visit, especially the restoration shop.

Excellent collection, all in very good condition. Especially liked the information placards at each plane - well organized and informative, unusual for this size museum, I thought. See the restoration hangar - quite a crew!

The Yanks Air Museum collection numbers over 130 aircraft featuring civilian and military aircraft built in the U.S. Aircraft are restored to original factory plans and brought to flyable condition. The Chino airport location is expanding while building a major sister museum complex at Greenfield, CA. The new location will have a runway, guest hangars, hotel, winery, RV camp, shops, restaurants and other tourist amenities.

Tis is now called "Yanks" Museum every aircraft is in flying condition (except 2 cutawys). It is located at the west end of the field and should be entered by the road before the field.

Unable to access your exibits here. Have Tri-Motor at www.Tri-Motor.com at Fullerton airport, Ca. Perhaps we might have a special kids day each month? Sincerely yours, Capt. Bud Foxx

Would-be visitors should be aware that the Yanks Air Museum is now only open Tuesday-Friday. Well worth a visit though - some outstanding restorations and the staff are extremely friendly

This is an AWESOME museum and absolutely worth the trip. Currently it is on the same tarmac as Plane of Fame, so you must go planning to see both. WONDERFUL.
