The photos actually cover two Museums at Chino "Planes of Fame" and "Yanks Air Museum" they are not affiliated. Planes of Fame is the older of the two at Chino, founded by Mr. Ed Maloney in Claremont, Ca on Jan 12 th, 1957, PoF moved to Chino in 1973, there is also a second facility in Valle, Az. PoF is the home of many flyable vintage aircraft and many one of a kind (sole examples) ie. the N9MB Flying Wing, the only A6M5 Reisen (Zero) with it's original engine, both flyable, the only FR-1 Ryan Fireball left. A list of the aircraft on display, both flying and static, can be found here Planes of Fame Inventory.
For those interested the Air Show is this weekend Planes of Fame AirShow
P.S As a side note both Museums DID have F-14's in their inventories, before they we confiscated by the U.S. Govt last Fall.
