Yanks Air Museum at the Chino Airport is hosting an open cockpit day on July 20th, 2013.

From the Yanks website:

See the world differently gazing out of a fighter aircraft. Join us for the 1st ever OPEN COCKPIT DAY featuring the P-40 Warhawk. Step back into the 1940’s, Yanks’ authentic fighter cockpits are complete and original.

Tour the Super Constellation, this aircraft flew classified, secret missions to detect invasion from USSR bombers during the 1950’s. She is complete, airworthy and original as any “Connie” we have ever seen. Visit with Connie specialist Gary Harrington to learn more about AEW, Radiomen and their missions.

Train with the 82nd Airborne Living History Re-enactors and jump from the C-47 Skytrain.

Support our cause with Pilot extraordinaire Bob Hayden, he won’t keep his feet on the ground for long. Take to the skies in this PT-17 open-cockpit bi-plane or go aerobatic with pilot Daniel Wotring in the T-6 Texan of WWII fame. AIRCRAFT RIDES start at $50pp.

Packages available include admission, cockpit access, posters, food and fun
