Anyone going to the Chino (KCNO) Airshow?
I love the overhead roar of the warbirds!

(after i completed my checkride on a friday afternoon at KCNO, my first flight with a certificate was from said airport to my local airport and I got to taxi behind a Northrop N-9 flying wing; i have no idea if the flying wing was real or a replica, but it i was in awe. Chino airport has some really neat warbirds - some real, some replicas and some are still being flown; will be a fun show).

I dind't know that - i thought some of the static displays were replicas. Even better!

I saw the B-17 flying a few times as well (rarely though) - not just at airshows, but sometimes during the weekends. The distinctive sound is what makes me look up...

Wow. Very impressive itinerary.

Here are some photos i took a few years ago of some of the planes on static display.

There are some very knowledgeable people that volunteer their time in the display hangars; they have a vast knowledge on the planes and are happy to talk about them to anyone that is willing to listen ;)
