Yanks Air Museum in Chino, California, hosts one of the world’s largest collections of American aircraft, most of them airworthy. Painstakingly rebuilding these titans of American aviation history is hard work, with mechanics and craftsmen working by hand (sometimes for decades) to return craft to their original state. Visitors are encouraged to view the aircraft and learn about their history, their stories, and their journey from graveyard to restoration.
