  • The museum is planning significant upgrades and new exhibits at its Chino facility, including a Korean War Memorial, a permanent Goodyear Blimp gondola spot, enhanced digital and VR experiences, and an expanded STEM education curriculum.

There have been recent reports in aviation-related media suggesting that Chino, California-based Planes of Fame Air Museum is considering moving its stellar fleet of airworthy historical artifacts to the Lincoln Regional/Karl Harder Field in Lincoln, California, just north of Sacramento. And with the difficulties the museum has had with its neighbors at the Chino Airport related to its annual Planes of Fame Airshow these reports appear plausible.
