Where Aviation History Lives! www.planesoffame.org PLANES OF FAME AIRSHOW 2017 PREVAILS Over 50 warbirds were gathered together for the Planes of Fame Air Show at the Chino Airport, California over the weekend of May 6-7, 2017. The Air Show featured spirited flyby routines, simulated air combat scenarios, warbird and jet aerobatic displays, civilian aerobatic acts and, of course, the USAF Heritage Flight! As for the weather, the sky was generally overcast on Saturday, the ceiling and visibility were good enough for all of the scheduled flying routines. The show opened with a flyby and missing man routine in honor of the late Planes of Fame Air Museum founder Edward T. Maloney who passed away on August 19, 2016. Reflecting the fact that Maloney managed to save and preserve some of the world’s rarest aircraft for posterity, the opening routines featured the museum’s Northrop N9MB Flying Wing, Boeing P-26A “Peashooter,” Seversky 2PA/AT-12A Guardsman, Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero, Vought F4U-1A Corsair, Lockheed P-38J Lightning and North American P-51A Mustang, followed by a dedicated Northrop N9MB Flying Wing display with David Vopat at the controls. Aerobatic ace Rob Harrison then took to the air in his wife’s Zlin 140 for his dynamic “Tumbling Bear” routine before spirited Army Air Corps flybys took center stage with United States, British, Russian and Swiss fighters, trainers, bombers and transport planes. The morning’s activities concluded with Kent Pietsch flying a comedy aerobatic display in his vintage Interstate Cadet. After a 30-minute intermission, Planes of Fame Airshow 2017 action resumed with a Korean War air combat scenario featuring the North American AT-6 Texan, North American P-51D Mustang, Vought F4U Corsair, Douglas AD-6 Skyraider, North American F-86F Sabre, Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star and a Russian MiG- 15.

An Air Show highlight was a 5 Corsair flight formation featuring F4U-1, FG-1D, F4U-4 and F4U-7 Corsairs. The Corsairs also stayed aloft to take part in the next routine, a display of navy aircraft that included the Grumman FM-2 Wildcat, Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bombers, Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter, Aichi D3A Val replica, Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat and Grumman/ General Motors TBM-3 Avenger, followed with a Corsair flight demonstration by Steve Hinton.

PLANES OF FAME AIRSHOW 2017 PREVAILS

Over 50 warbirds were gathered together for the Planes of Fame Air Show at the Chino Airport, California over the weekend of May 6-7, 2017. The Air Show featured spirited flyby routines, simulated air combat scenarios, warbird and jet aerobatic displays, civilian aerobatic acts and, of course, the USAF Heritage Flight!

As for the weather, the sky was generally overcast on Saturday, the ceiling and visibility were good enough for all of the scheduled flying routines.

The show opened with a flyby and missing man routine in honor of the late Planes of Fame Air Museum founder Edward T. Maloney who passed away on August 19, 2016. Reflecting the fact that Maloney managed to save and preserve some of the world’s rarest aircraft for posterity, the opening routines featured the museum’s Northrop N9MB Flying Wing, Boeing P-26A “Peashooter,” Seversky 2PA/AT-12A Guardsman, Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero, Vought F4U-1A Corsair, Lockheed P-38J Lightning and North American P-51A Mustang, followed by a dedicated Northrop N9MB Flying Wing display with David Vopat at the controls.

Aerobatic ace Rob Harrison then took to the air in his wife’s Zlin 140 for his dynamic “Tumbling Bear” routine before spirited Army Air Corps flybys took center stage with United States, British, Russian and Swiss fighters, trainers, bombers and transport planes. The morning’s activities concluded with Kent Pietsch flying a comedy aerobatic display in his vintage Interstate Cadet.

After a 30-minute intermission, Planes of Fame Airshow 2017 action resumed with a Korean War air combat scenario featuring the North American AT-6 Texan, North American P-51D Mustang, Vought F4U Corsair, Douglas AD-6 Skyraider, North American F-86F Sabre,

Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star and a Russian MiG-15. Stewart Dawson then took to the air in the Lewis Air Legends Grumman F7F-3 Tigercat for an impressive demonstration of the big twin-engine navy fighter’s performance capabilities, followed by Philipp Steinbach’s stunning

aerobatic display in his unique Gamebird GB1. Another outstanding warbird aerobatic display then followed with Dennis Sanders in the Sanders Aviation Hawker Sea Fury T. Mk. 20.

An Air Show highlight was a 5 Corsair flight formation featuring F4U-1, FG-1D, F4U-4 and F4U-7 Corsairs.

Save the date and mark your calendars for Saturday, November 18, 2017 to attend the 11th Annual Planes of Fame Air Museum “Taste of Flight” Gala and Silent Auction. This year’s event promises to be one of our best ever with a wide selection of delicious food tastings from local restaurants, wonderful wines and beers from top wineries and breweries, a great selection of auction items, and entertainment – with the evening culminating in the presentation of the esteemed “Achievement in Aviation” award.

In addition to sampling the many culinary delights, guests participate in our extensive Silent Auction. Filled with aviation art, autographed memorabilia, fabulous gift baskets, access to local amusements, an incredible selection of one-of-a-kind delights and more, the auction is both fun and exciting as guests outbid one another for these keepsake items. And, with the holidays just a few weeks after the event, this year’s auction is a great chance to pick up some exceptional gift items.

“Taste of Flight” serves as an important fundraising event for the Museum’s many outreach efforts. Monies raised will be used to help grow and expand our Aviation Discovery Program, which is offered to school-aged children throughout San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and Los Angeles counties. The Aviation Discovery Program provides aviation-themed education modules that focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math (STEAM) topics.

Within a 25-mile radius of the Museum are over one million school-aged children. Whether they are taught in our public schools, charter schools,

private schools, or home-schooled, these young people can benefit from the aviation-themed topics we present in our Aviation Discovery Program. Most of the content that we provide – hands-on instruction in aerodynamics and flight principles, a glimpse into the history of aviation, and a look at the career opportunities of the industry are not subjects they typically encounter in the classroom. And these subjects have merit.

The General Accounting Office of the Federal government has estimated that within the next ten years, the U.S. based airline industry is likely to face a shortage of qualified pilots, technicians, and other support personnel. This is due to a number of factors – retirements of personnel currently in these positions, fewer trained military personnel, increasing compliance requirements, and a severe drop in the number of people entering general aviation. Worldwide, this problem is even more startling – where predictions of an annual, global shortage of more than 20,000 pilots and trained technicians could strike the air transport industry by the year 2030.

The goal of the Museum’s Aviation Discovery Program is to inspire young people to learn more about aviation. Our hope is that we can ignite a spark in each child to influence their educational journey in a way that could align itself with a career in aviation. The funds generated at “Taste of Flight” will help us expand our offerings with new and improved education modules, assist schools in their visits to the Museum, and purchase necessary supplies to ensure a meaningful experience for each child.

The highlight of every “Taste of Flight” Gala and Auction is the presentation of the Planes of Fame Achievement in Aviation Award. This award is given to individuals who have made a significant contribution to aviation over time, either in the form of innovations, knowledge, or methods to improve the industry. Within aviation circles, the award is considered to be one of the more prestigious honors bestowed. Past recipients include Colonel Bud Anderson, Clay Lacy, astronaut Bill Anders, and WWII hero Louis Zamperini among others.

This year, the award will be presented to two individuals. Famed aerobatic pilot and aviation ambassador Sean D. Tucker, and a posthumous presentation to Robert “Bob” Hoover, famed Air Force Test pilot and air show performer.

As one of the foremost aerobatic masters, Sean D. Tucker has entertained and thrilled millions of

spectators at air shows around the world. In 2008, he was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame and is considered one of the living legends of aviation. He also serves as the Chairman for the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Young Eagles program. Mr. Tucker will attend the event and speak about his career, the challenges of each performance, and the importance of supporting young people in their entry into aviation.

Plans are ongoing to make the event even more spectacular. “Taste of Flight” traditionally sells out. Tickets will be available on the Museum website beginning in August. Watch for future emails and announcements. For more information, please contact either Liz Esparza or Brian Finnegan at 909-597-3722, or via email at [email protected] or [email protected].

RESTORATION UPDATE: NORTH AMERICAN NAVION PROJECT

By George Orff

Roger Long and Phil Claypool, two of our most experienced restoration volunteers, are close to completion on the North American Navion (pronounced Navy-on). They are expecting a newly overhauled fuel pump. After this and the hydraulic pump are installed, the airplane will be ready for run up, radio installation, paint, detailing, and

pick up of miscellaneous items. This has been an extensive project. It will be great to get this airplane out of restoration, into service, and on display!

Help us ‘Keep ‘em Flying’ by donating or sponsoring an aircraft restoration. Please contact us at [email protected] or call 909-597-3722
