The Yanks Air Museum is located in Chino, California. In 1973, this collection of aircraft began with the acquisition of the Beech Staggerwing and since then the museum has acquired more than 200 aircraft. Outside on the museum grounds is the “boneyard” which includes unrestored airplanes, airplane parts, unrestored land vehicles, and other “junk.” For an archaeologist, this is one of the fascinating parts of the museum: there are no neat displays or exhibit signs, just lots of fascinating aircraft-related artifacts.
