I will be posting at least one photo per day from old POF airshows on my instagram account, @aircraftinfocus, using the #letusflypof tag with a comment supporting POF and encourage others to do the same, until this dispute is satisfactorily resolved.

We have two large aviation museums at the same airport vying for the same audience. It seems like this going to come to a head at some point. The whole Yanks wanting to move to Greenfield that was mentioned early in the thread suggests to me that they've wanted a location all to themselves for some time now. And don't forget that PoF has its own satellite campus at Valle Airport as well. I think the takeaway is that Chino was just "not big enough for the both of them". I mean look at a satellite view of their storage areas. They can't be any more cramped.

Can you imagine IWM complaining that the airshows cause it cost and inconvenience? Yes you can! It's always easy to imagine people being jerks! But instead, they entered into a mutually beneficial partnership and made the airfield more of a destination that it could have been with either tenant alone.
