Thank you for the friendly welcome.
The Museum is the California Aviation and Aerospace Museum on the old McClelland Air Force Base site. I grew up around McClelland and boy-O-boy did I get a good dose of airplane activity and wonderful airplane noise for many years that way. (McClelland was a repair/retrofit facility for all branches of United States military)
All of our aircraft are "static only". About half of them have motors. All the propeller driven airplanes have engines... Most of the late jets are lacking motors...
We just had donated to us a Curtiss 'Sporter' one of two built. It's immaculate. A major-general cherry.

Chino.... CHINO!? I WISH!
But alas, I'm a hillbilly on the West slope of the Sierra Nevada Range and much too far from Chino. HOWEVER, a friend of mine works there. I met 'em on line. Last year I went down to visit when they had a P-38J (Yes, "Glacier Girl") getting plumbed for drop tanks. I wanted to see two P-38s together... especially fly together. It was well worth the 900+ miles of driving to see and hear! I got video and still shots. Wanna know something? P-38s are very quiet! They hum.
I knew I was in good company here especially when I spotted ((((rjkplasticmod's)))) avatar image of Alfred E. Newman... Kindered spirit, Oh yeah, brother!
