Admiring Old Aircrafts at Chino Museum, CA (January 2018)

Visiting Carolina (my step dauther) and Glenn at Irvine, CA, in January 2018 and feeling somewhat lazy, we decided to drive approximately 60 km to Chino to visit an aircraft museum. I like and admire airplanes; I'm interested on the subject, although I'm not an expert. Françoise and my grand-daughter Gabriella came along.
This museum is relatively small compared to others (as the Dulles Airport one, for instance) already visited. The hangars are small and there is little space among aircrafts. Therefore it was not easy to picture them and I had to use, sometimes, a small Olympus fish-eye (cap body type) whose performance is weak. People inside are nice, eager to furnish information; some take care of the old planes maintenance. All in all, I had a great time there and we enjoied very much this visit. I used my Olympus E-M5 II and the zoom Panasonic 14-140mm for the majority of photos.
