WARBIRD EVENT AT CHINO

FEATURING "VICTORY OVER EUROPE" as the theme of its monthly special event at the Chino Airport on May 7, 2005, The Air Museum Planes of Fame will host a seminar on the WW II air war in Europe that made victory over the Axis forces possible. The event will begin at 10 a.m. and end with a demonstration flight by the Planes of Fame's Republic P-47G Thunderbolt-an Army Air Force fighter that fought in Europe.

Staffed primarily by a core of dedicated volunteers, The Planes of Fame supports its operations with admission fees, donations and proceeds from the use of its aircraft. One of the benefits of being a member is that you can actually experience the thrill of backseat orientation flights in a genuine warbird. At each month's special event, membersincluding last-minute sign-ups-have a chance to win a backseat orientation flight in a warbird.

The Air Museum Planes of Fame is open to the public every day except Christmas and Thanksgiving from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more information, call (909) 597-3722, or visit the museum's website at www.planesoffame.org.
