July 6 Ride to Chino Air Museum

tomk · 07-06-2008, 03:03 PM

Dave, BD and I were riding out to Chino to stop at one of the semi-famous places around here for breakfast, Flo's. We were thinking of heading out to meet up with Nico and other Hooligans out at Big Bear mountain but decided we were better off not getting cooked.

We ended up stopping at the Air Museum there in Chino and I took some pics of the old aircraft. Dave and BD are in some of them to give an idea of scale. Some of these racing planes were as small as a motorcycle.

Other planes like the WWI bi-planes were really tiny. Got the famous red baron triplane as well as the Sopwith Pup but not the camel.

Other famous planes like the Wright Flyer, Mustang, Mig and the Zero are there also.

Cool!

That little green plane is cool. It's probably like when you start riding with a Honda Rebel and move up from there.

That was fun and I'm glad I'm not trying to ride down Big Bear mountain this time of day at the end of a 3 day weekend in 100+ degree temps! It takes 3 hours to get down!! The beach was nice and cool!!

Thanks for the ride fellas.

I wish I could have joined you guys. Riding the West Coast must be awesome.

It has it's drawbacks but I think everywhere does.

Great day. Need to get out and see more of that kind of thing.

Nice pics! Glad you rode! Any ride is a good ride when you're on a Nomad!

We'll get together soon and ride together when it's not too hot or too cold for you pansies! ;) :-*

If any of you are ever in the vicinity of Salt Lake City, go about 30 miles north to Roy, Utah and there you will find the Hill Air Force Base museum. The last time I was there (11-12 years ago), it was free and they have some really great planes. B29 bombers, B-52's, F-4 Phantom, F-111, and an SR-71 Blackbird (AWESOME!). Lots of other planes, and aviation-related stuff, too. It's worth checking out if you're in the area.

I keep meaning to go there every time I got up to visit my drivers in Clearfield. Maybe I'll go up there in a week or so. Time for a visit anyhow.

Clearfield is real close. I was up that way a couple of weeks ago, but didn't have the time to spend at the museum. Maybe my next trip back up there.
