Shall we play a game? Chino Airport

[Scott Rose]

I spy at least 3-4 warbirds among the GA aircraft. How many can you identify and what are they?

P.S. This is at Chino Airport, CA

I spy...an AN-2, 5 Saab Drakken's, a Stearman, 2 Fouga Magisters. OK what'd I miss?

Is the blue/ white twin in top right corner a C-45/ D18S?

It looks like a post-war model with the extended wing tips.
But there is another at the top left that could be an older model.

Some "semi-warbirds" there include Aero Commanders, a King Air and an Apache. And there is probably an early 310 there too.

Still haven't found the Stearman. Hard to imagine someone keeping one outside.

Stearman is in the bottom right corner, next to what looks like a wingless L-29 (missed that in my first post).

I was wondering what the jet next to the Stearman is, I was thinking Iskra, but it doesn't look like the wing sweeps. Looks like it might be a L-29, the fuselage looks sorta thin though, that's why I was thinking Iskra

I think I see a T-28, but I'm not sure.

[Flat 12x2]

3 Cub's & a Navion
No T-28
It is a L-29, not an Iskra
Yes a 310, row Y 4th up
No Beech Twin top left, I don't know how to differentiate between early & late one's top right.

For shame....none of you spotted the mighty T-41.

[vernicator]

The red and white wingless aircraft on the bottom right, parked next to the Stearman, is a PZL TS-11 Iskra.

Shape of the wing tips. Later "Super 18s" had those odd squared off extensions.

It has a high 'T' tailplane which would make it a L-29, not a mid tail tailplane like a Iskra

Got it, that makes it a later one then as it has squared off wing tips.


+ I've spotted another Navion
