I visited the Chino museum a few years ago. It really is a must-see for warbird fans. Besides the great collection of real planes, it has the biggest collection of scale models I've ever seen in one place.

that alone would make it worth the trip. thanks for posting that.

A few of the other things that, to me, were astounding, all of them actual aircraft, not replicas:

The world's only flyable Zero and one of the few left in any condition.
An He-162A-1 Volksjager.
A J8M1 Shusui.
A G4M1 Betty.
A J2M3 Raiden.
A Horten Ho-IV Flying Wing Glider.

Hey Kill, sorry I missed your post yesterday. I went there last year when we went to Nevada last summer. I thought it was well worth the $10 but then I'm a sucker for old cars and planes... here are a few shots from my trip

maybe if you're a cute little blonde kid they'd let you inside the 109?
