Planes of Fame Air Museum company history timeline

1957

Planes of Fame Air Museum was founded by Edward T. Maloney on January 12, 1957, in Claremont, California, to save historically important aircraft.

1962

In 1962, after the museum's collection of aircraft and memorabilia outgrew its original home, it moved to nearby Ontario Airport, California.

1970

In 1970, redevelopment of the airport at Ontario forced the museum to move again.

1973

When Movie World closed in 1973, the name "Planes of Fame" was transferred, along with the static planes, to the flying collection at Chino.

1995

As more aircraft were restored and the collection grew, an additional display facility was opened in 1995 at Valle, Arizona.

2002

The Chino facility opened its Enterprise Hangar in 2002.

2004

The Chino facility was further expanded in 2004–08, adding two new hangars, new offices, a gift shop, library, and the Hands-On Aviation youth education center.

2009

In October 2009, another new hangar was dedicated, this one built by the 475th Fighter Group to store their memorabilia and house the museum's rare Lockheed P-38 Lightning.
