The Planes of Fame Media Day

On Wednesday, the 24th of April, the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, CA opened their doors to the Media for an Air2Air event to help promote their annual air show, which will be held May 4-5, this year.

We were promised up to 4 P-38 Lightning fighters to fly in formation for our Air2Air photo session, but it was not to be, so we were fortunate to get a P-51 Mustang and one P-38 Lightning. Anytime  you get to fly and shoot any Warbird, it's a great day.

It was partly cloudy and just a little wind, at least on the ground. Three of us got into a Cessna and went up to meet up with the fighters who were already airborne. After about 15 minutes of very bumpy flying conditions, we met up with the P-51 first and then was joined by the P-38. They flew with us singularly and then in formation. After about 10 minutes of shooting, we separated and landed back at the Chino Airport.

This is a wonderful airshow, and truly appreciate the time that the pilots and staff of the Plane of Fame gave tom us to share in this event.
