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.
Planes of Fame Staying in Chino
Key Takeaways:
- Planes of Fame Air Museum confirms it is definitively staying at its Chino, California location, refuting recent media reports of a full relocation.
- While remaining in Chino, the museum is exploring the possibility of expanding to a second location, potentially Lincoln, California, in the future to house its growing collection.
- The museum is planning significant upgrades and new exhibits at its Chino facility, including a Korean War Memorial, a Goodyear Blimp gondola display, enhanced STEM education programs, and new digital/VR experiences.
- Despite a pending lawsuit, the museum will hold its annual airshow in May and host 17 other events this year, largely "Living History Flying Days" featuring demonstration flights of historical aircraft.
