Planes of Fame East Reviews

Wonderful venue to host events and to see historic planes.

If you're an aviation fan, you will love to come here more than once. This place has flyable planes, planes in various stages of restoration and a huge boneyard. The exhibits span from the beginning of flight ( wooden planes, a replica Kitty Hawk), WW1 era biplanes and later. Japanese WW2 planes and later Soviet jets, seaplanes and some military vehicles like trucks and half tracks.
Note: The place gets really hot in summer.

I have been going to the Airshow since 1978. Mr Maloney sold me a VHS tape from a trailer. Photo from local hanger corner. Best Airshow on the west coast

A must visit. Best collection of vintage warlords around.

Took my husband for his birthday he loved it.its so cool to be so close to the planes.i had alot of fun.and it's not to packed.its a must go if you like old war planes.

A great air museum, friendly staff, fun gift shop. Perfect for walking off breakfast from Flo's dinner. Very kid friendly and handicap accessible.

Interesting to learn about the history of different planes

It's not the best presented museum, but has lots of stuff you will only see there. The fact the lots of the planes are flyable is really cool.

Theirr are unclear about the tours and the time frame and would not refund. I'll never go back and I'm an airplane enthusiasts there's always March air Base.

This place is packed with exciting planes and history. So much to see and enjoy. Walked around for a couple hours. Wish I was there during the flying exhibition events.

1st time. My family and I enjoyed the amazing air show.

Best vintage aircraft museum in SoCal! Many aircraft on display are airworthy. A must visit.

A great place for plane/WWII buffs - most of the planes are in flying condition, and they are all restored beautifully. Lots of historical artifacts as well - friendly staff and amazing history

I m been to this museum several times for Living History Flying Days and have never been disappointed. The people our knowledgeable, friendly and many of the planes are airworthy. I would recommend to anyone interested in aviation history.

Absolutely stunning. A must visit when you into aircrafts.

Just watched "FORTRESS" a movie about the B-17 and it's crew . The movie was good and it was great to see how the B-17's and her crew survived bombing runs. Hell of a plane. Respect and Props to the men/women of WW2 who fought/died to stop a evil man

I really like this place. One thing i didn't like.
They were filming for a movie or something ad one of the hangar was close.
I really wanted to go to that hangar. It was the USS enterprise hangar.

Fantastic, if you understand the bravery and honor of WW II.

One of the survived and airworthiness Mitsubishi Zero can be found here!

My middle schooler had to do a project on world history....I was happy with my choice of selecting this place...... I think I learnt more on world war 1 and 2 than I had in my school days :)

Air show was not worth the time to go see, to high to see the plane.

Very cool place to check out. Friendly staff - especially Pamela! , will be back to watch air show.

Great place if you are into aviation and even if you're not. You learn a lot about the history of aviation. I didn't realize that it has only been 60+ years between the Wright Brothers and landing on the moon!
There is an incredible number of fighter planes and jets from WW1 and WW2. I really liked where the history was given of the actual fighter or bomber I was looking at. And there are so many of them that actually can be, and are, flown now.
One gets to see many captured German and especially Japanese fighter jets from WW2. Full size replicas of many planes are also on display.
Give yourself at least a couple hours to see everything. If going in the summer, remember that the hangers aren't air conditioned and can get hot. And yes, there are many places to sit clean bathrooms.

Great air museum focusing primarily on WWII aircraft. Most of the planes are airworthy and can be seen in the air at various times during the year. Before or after your visit, drop by Flo's Cafe (just 2 minutes up the road) for some hearty chow.

An awesome place to visit if you like history or aircraft. I especially enjoyed the WWII aircraft, many of which are flyable.
A great place to visit with the family.
Veterans honored with entrance, coffee, and a lecture on the first Tuesday of every month.
Check out their website for flight demonstration dates.

Highly recommend this museum for any airplane geek.

Loads of interesting exhibits and many planes that were really special. Hangers are very hot inside.

Would definitely need to go and visit when there are airshows!

Many of the rare old plane are in display here and many of them are still operational. Got to see many of the war era planes not going to mention names cus I'll probably get them wrong. I see there will be an air show coming up in May 2014 hoping to make it out.

If you are in the area definitely check out the place

A first class museum! I would argue it's better than most, as they fly lots of their planes!

Its magnificent to see history like this. Some of these planes fly which to me is remarkable. It shows the progress airplanes made in such a short amount of time.

Outstanding!! Great staff with lots of great information and stories

Cool place to take airplane enthusiasts, flying students, and kids in general. Not a big museum but has fun exhibits.

Awesome collection of planes there. Some still flying around!

My dad loves this place. Usually in may they have an air show with the old birds flying in the sky. I rented a ride for my dad on one of his birthdays and he had a blast. Was a bit pricey but worth it. He had such a good time he's an air force veteran. This is the place to go if you're into history and planes

Great seeing and smelling additional planes being rebuilt.

It is a wonderful display of American aviation history. I am so glad to see that the museum is open once again.

Huge with many exhibits and airplanes that are capable of flying, you can interact very closely with many of the airplanes and the staff is extremely friendly and collaborative

Great learning experience. Lots of history. Staff were very friendly.

Awesome, worth the stop and check every corner of every place you look as awesome stuff everywhere

I was there to attend a Vets meeting, but have taken a tour there before, & it's a must see museum. The docents are very knowledgeable & willing to answer questions.

So much to see, yet not an all day adventure. Some beautiful airplanes and great history. Great way to spend a few hours

A genuine museum within the San Bernardino County. This is a truly a nice find to bring the family and see the several airplanes on display. Most of the planes on display are operational. The guides are very personable and helpful.

lots and lots to see, very cool to see so many planes that still in flying condition

Great experience even with my 3 wild kids staff was great! Going to leave kids at home next time. Already have three friends that want to go check it out!

I really love that place! I drove twice from Phoenix to Pima because of all that great stuff they show in- and outside their hangars!
You wouldn't imagine that they even have a Boeing 787 on their field :o

Great place to visit if you have ANY interest in aviation and/or history. This place has certain flyable aircraft that can only be seen here. The P-26 Peashooter comes to mind, along with the Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero. One hanger is a maintenance and restoration facility for these aircraft, so bear in mind it can be a little "dirty" if your not used to that environment. Great museum and I am a regular visitor. Love it!

A great air museum, my significant other and I are members and go at least once a month. Not only can you see historic aircraft, but many of them are still flown, too. Don't miss the air show in May.

They had one of the planes from the movie Pearl Harbor and they actually flew it. It was really cool to see

Many planes. Plenty of docents! Visit the children's area and build a plane!

The best airplane museum and a treasure in Southern California. Ed Maloney's legacy was to preserve one of each airplane in flyable condition and Planes of Fame has a large collection of World War 2 warbirds as well as Korean era/ Vietnam era planes, and a display of the classic air racers. A wonderful family outing, a place to talk airplanes, and they have a monthly history symposium with featured speakers who flew them. Their annual air show is one of the best in the world. Membership is very affordable and highly recommended.

Terrific museum. Annual air (May or june) show one of the best. Their goal is to keep the aircraft in flying condition and to fly them, not just as static displays of history but planes of fame you get to hear, touch and see flown!

Planes of Fame has some incredible Planes, great displays and worth a visit.

Host were very informative on the planes. great place to see vintage aircraft

This is one of the best museums I have visited. They also have a great gift shop!
