Over seventy vintage airplanes were displayed at the Planes of Fame Airshow at Chino over the weekend of May 19, 20. It was two days of sensory overload and unduplicatable warbird experiences. Chino is the only show where they fly three Lockheed P-38 Lightnings and the only show with two Mitsubishi A6M Zeros.
