Chino (CA) Declared Temporary Center of Aviation Universe

Military hardware is the focus of the Planes of Fame Museum, one of the premier flying warbird collections in the world; and modern military aircraft will join in the festivities this weekend, as well.

The U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet and a pair of U.S. Air Force F-16C Fighting Falcons will arrive at rural Chino Airport Friday morning in preparation for the Planes of Fames Air Show 2003.
Based at Naval Air Station Lemoore, the F/A-18E is scheduled to arrive at Chino at 8:30 a.m. and the Fighting Falcons from Hill Air Force Base in Utah are scheduled to arrive at 11 a.m. The aircraft will be on public display starting at 8 a.m. Saturday and Sunday mornings.

The Fighting Falcon and the Super Hornet are two of the United States' primary tactical jet fighter-bombers. During this weekend's Air Show 2003, the Fighting Falcon will team up with Planes of Fame's own Korean War-era F-86F Sabre Jet and a World War II-era P51D Mustang for Air Force Heritage Flight demonstrations. The Super Hornet will be paired with a World War II-era FG-1D Corsair for Navy Tailhook Legacy Flight routines.
