The Yanks Air Museum is located in Chino,California. In 1973, this collection of aircraft began with the acquisition ofthe Beech Staggerwing and since then the museum has acquired more than 200aircraft. Many of the aircraft displayed at the museum are one-of-a-kind(usually meaning the last remaining example) and most of them can be flown(notice the dip pans under the airplanes). According to the Museum’s website:
“Yanks Air Museum hosts one of the world’s largest aircraft collections, most of them airworthy. Painstakingly rebuilding these titans of American aviation history is hard work, with mechanics and craftsmen working by hand (sometimes for decades) to return craft to their original state. Visitors are encouraged to view the aircraft and learn about their history, their stories, and their journey from graveyard to restoration.”
Shown below are photographs from the Museum’s restoration hanger showing some of their restoration projects.
