Fun in the Southern California sun
Chino hosting next AOPA event
THE FUN HEADS west to Southern California as AOPA
makes final preparations for its Chino Fly-In on Saturday, September 20. Chino Airport (CNO), about
40 nautical miles east of Los Angeles, is the place to
meet fellow pilots and AOPA members, learn during
educational seminars, and check out aircraft and product
displays. Bring your appetite, too-breakfast will be served, and lunch is
free to AOPA members (RSVP required).
Chino's airport has a rich heritage and is home to a wide variety of warbirds,
many airworthy. Do not miss Chino's two world-class aviation museums, Planes
of Fame Air Museum and Yanks Air Museum; they have different philosophies
and different objectives, so seeing one is not like seeing the other.
Less accessible, smaller, and just as interesting is Aero Trader, a private warbird maintenance and restoration business. While the company has restored an
incredibly diverse range of warbirds, it specializes in the North American B-25
and P-51. The company owns the B-25 type certificate and has all the aircraft's
engineering drawings.
Admission to AOPA's Chino Fly-In is free, and volunteers are appreciated;
visit the website (www.aopa.org/fly-in) to RSVP or sign up to volunteer.
