Are you allowed to take your camera in to work? I reckon some photos of an aircraft undergoing a C or even a D check would be pretty awesome

I'm not allowed for a few reasons, but small cameras in the backpack aren't seen I have several hundred photos of planes and engines but I can't upload them to the web
I'll give you a small sample... it's a door from a 747-200 taken with my old Olympus D-595 zoom
I was intrigued in similar fashion and shot a series of this dis-assembly [just an excerpt]:

My first attempt at some plane spotting, horrible overcast weather. All shots taken with sigma 100-300 except for the 3rd one with DA 18-55mm AL II-

Marine Helos and such

MCAS New River was right near where we went to the beach this summer. So every once in awhile, different aircraft flew past, requiring a fairly quick setup time, especially the Osprey, which was why it's only in silhouette (manual everything and horribly underexposed...sorry about that chief). Think of it as a spotting card .

Planes of Fame museum in Chino, Calif.

Rare "A" model Mustang (rear).


F-8 Crusader in the boneyard.


Firing up "Wee Willy II", for the raffle-winner ride.


"Piccadilly Lilly II" is the last decommissioned B-17, and has an estimated 10 years of restoration before it is airworthy.


AT-12 Guardsman.


J2F-6 Duck.


P-38 named "23 Skidoo".


In the boneyard.


Me-163 Komet.


AD-1 (later the A-1) Skyraider.


More boneyard.




Replica crash-site of the Betty bomber carrying Admiral Yamamoto.


Officially named the Scout, this Sopwith was nicknamed the "Pup" because of its small size.


Replica Dr-1 triplane. This is my favorite prop plane.


This Hanriot HD-1 was flown in the USA and owned by WWI French ace Charles Nungesser.


Glacier Girl was recovered more than 50 years after crashing on Greenland. It was buried under 230 feet of ice and snow. The props and spinners are probably in the repair shop.


This Me-109 was recovered after more than 50 years at the bottom of a freshwater lake.


The Bell X-2 is getting some restoration. This one was on TV :-)


Famous replica and original racers.

Hi K, really enjoyed, have went to their site for hours etc, might you be able to
recommend a time when crowds would seem a little thin?

You want to visit the Chino POF? I think I've only been there on Saturdays. Might want to avoid the particular Saturday with the monthly "event". If you can't get there on a weekday, Sunday morning might be best. Don't forget that the Yanks Air Museum is at the same airport :-)
