Jiro Horikoshi is best known for designing the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, but he would later design the Mitsubishi J2M Raiden. The Raiden was designed as high-altitude defensive interceptor, and as such, it was built with high climbing rate and power in mind. It was not agile, but it could reach heavy bombers quickly...until the B-29s decided to just fly even higher. Mitsubishi built 641 Raidens and today there is only one left. You can see it inside our foreign hangar, here at Planes Of Fame every Wednesday through Sunday, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM #planesoffameairmuseum #planesoffame #j2mraiden #mitsubishi #warbird # #fighterplane #pacifictheater

June 6, 2024 marks the 80th anniversary of the Operation Overlord invasion of Normandy, France... more commonly known as D-Day. D-day marked the turning point against the European Axis powers. The Allies successfully created a second front, joining the Russians in attacking Nazi-occupied Europe, which was now being assaulted on two sides. Our 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝐬𝐭, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 Hangar Talk flying event will 'jump' into the D-Day anniversary complete with special guest C-47B Skytrain 'Willa Dean' from Lyon Air Museum. We will also have reenactors representing the various aspects of American forces that played a role on that historic day. It's a Hangar Talk you don't want to miss! Doors open at 9am with the presentations starting at 10:30am. The C-47 will take to the skies around 12:15pm. See you June 1st here at Chino Airport, CA! #planesoffameairmuseum #planesoffame #c47skytrain #warbird #warbird #D-day

Le Caudron C430 rafale, monoplan biplace de sport ou grand tourisme, effectua son 1er vol le 22 mai 1934. Il était équipé d’une hélice à pas variable automatique Ratier, elle même entraînée par un moteur à 4 cylindres en ligne, Renault Bengali de 140 CV de 6,5 l. de cylindrée. En août 1934, Hélène Boucher battit le record de vitesse pour monoplan de cette catégorie, en atteignant 455 km/h sur le C.450. Elle participa également, avec ces camarades, aux 12 Heures d’Angers, où les quatre Caudron engagés ravirent les 4 premères places. Malheureusement, elle se tua aux commandes du second et dernier C.430 fabriqué, le 30 novembre 1934. Le jour de Noël 1934, Raymond Delmotte, chef pilote d’essais de la société Caudron établit sur un C.460 le record de vitesse en vol pour avions terrestres à 506 km/h avec un moteur Renault 456 de 6 cylindres en ligne inversé, développant 300 chevaux. Ces appareils initieront une lignée d’avions de grand sport, de records, d’entraînement à la chasse et de chasse, comme le C.714 Cyclone produit en 1939. Jean Mermoz ou René Fonck, aviateurs célèbres, ont été formés par l’école Caudron, née en Hauts de France. Des centaines d’avions, civiles et militaires, sont sortis de l’établissement Caudron au siècle dernier mais deux seulement pour le C430 rafale.

Turns out that in addition to airplanes, @planesoffame also has an impressive motor pool, and it includes an M4 Sherman tank that actually functions!

A historic recreation of a standoff between the Germans and the Allied troops, including an M4 tank, das Lounge, das Entertainment-Regal, und die Waschmaschinen und Trockner (records of these German appliances being on the battlefield are spotty at best; this is the stuff history class doesn’t teach you 😂). The appliances on site were crushed by the tank as it looped around the lawn and fired the big gun.

Fun day in Chino at Planes of Flame museum where they were having Wings, Tracks and Wheels event. Lots of old aircraft outside and in multiple hangers. Photo #5 shows the Avenger that was the type of plane George H.W.Bush was flying when he shot down. Group of singers performed and I met the gal in the middle was on the tv show Marvelous Ms. Mazel. Recreation of World War 1 and 2 camps with reenactments. Photo #9 is a plane owned by Tom Cruise and was in Top Gun Maverick. He is an actual pilot. And watched a tank in action running over various items and firing their guns. Definately a fun event not to be missed. #planesoffameairmuseum #chino #california #militaryaircraft #chinoairport

Today I explored the possibility of adding an air wing to the Finnish Foreign Legion. Prices in surplus aircraft have certainly risen since I last checked in 1947! All the Boeing aircraft (PT-13 Stearman, P-26, and F4B) and the Seversky AT-12 Guardsman were well beyond our $500 budget. One flight in the Stearman alone is $350! I thought I’d have better luck on the scratch-and-dent-sale Lockheed Loadstar . Alas, t’was not to be. At least I got to meet Indiana Jones’ father. #finnishforeignlegion #suomenmuukalaislegioona #maastasepienikinponnistaa #planesoffameairmuseum #planesoffame
I had a super fun time today at Planes of Fame for Wings, Tracks, and Wheels 2024. There were some fun activities and many aircraft on display and flying, as well as many vehicles from World War 2 from Jeeps to Tanks. I got some super great shots today of all the activity going on around the museum including the aircraft flying, tank demonstration, and mock battle, and much more!! I also got some awesome video of the events today which I will publish to my YouTube channel when I finish editing. Overall, it was a super fun day today! I wanna give a huge thank you to Planes of Fame and all the volunteers who made this amazing event possible! Without them, there would be no Wings, Tracks, and Wheels.
