Country:  | will agree the Chino air Museum is a hoot. filthy dirty and almost in the middle of cow poop yards (recommend nose clips in the summer....)but still worth going when they have warbirds on parade and veterans gatherings. |

| Chino
The smell isnt so bad anymore. Lots of development going up in the old cow pastures.
By the way, the people with the best view of the airshow have to be the inmates in the state prison across the street from the airport. They are directly under the main runway!
If people want, I can post more pictures of the airshow. | |

Country: | I used to fly into Chino all thi time, always had some great stuff around there. If the weather was good 2 or 3 of us would fly over and walk the ramp, the museum folks always had something going on.
I'm hoping next summer to fly to Oshkosh and camp out.

| More Photo's
Ok, here are two more. Two of the P47's in flight, and another (teaser) for you of a pair of Zero's taking off while a TBF and Wildcat warm up.
I think the P47's in the "vee" formation look nasty enough to scare the daylights out of the German troops!!! | |

P-47D-25-RE :
Initial climb rate: 2780 ft/min at sea-level, 1575 ft/min at 30,000ft.
P-47D-35-RA:
Max initial climb: 3120 ft/min. Quote: |
You want to know the rate at 30K ?
| Well why the hell post a statistic that shows 2 climb rates, and the second one only shows one.... EIther u forgot it or ur left it out on purpose... Why bother showing the comparison of the 25-RE if u cant compare the data???

Well it only shows the max initial climb rate for that one(3120 ft/min), and unfortunately no alt is given. However as one can see, it is close to 400fpm more than the max climb rate of the D-25-RE.
Btw; why would I leave it out on purpose ? That would just be plain stupid !
