Air Commandos at Planes of Fame on July 5, 2008 - Chino, California
Chino, CA - Air Commandos will be the subject of the monthly special event hosted by Planes of Fame Air Museum at the Chino Airport on Saturday, July 5, 2008. The program will begin at 10 a.m. with a seminar describing the history of United States Air Commando operations and conclude with a flight demonstration by the Planes of Fame’s rare North American P-51A Mustang, one of the first combat airplanes used by the Air Commandos. The history of the U.S. Air Commandos dates back to the establishment of the 1st Air Commando Group in India on March 2, 1944. Initially, the 1st Air Commando Group provided logistical and combat aerial support to Allied commando ground forces, known as “Chindits,” operating deep behind the Japanese lines in Burma. Disbanded on October 8, 1948, the Air Commandos were revived in April 1981 to counter Soviet-sponsored insurgents around the world. Today, the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command employs 9,500 commandos to provide support where required with special infiltration helicopters, transport planes, aerial refueling aircraft and aerial gunships.

Planes of Fame Museum: Grumman Iron Works on June 7, 2008 - Chino, California Chino, CA - The legendary “Grumman Iron Works” will be the subject of the monthly special event hosted by Planes of Fame Air Museum at the Chino Airport on Saturday, June 7, 2008. The event will begin at 10 a.m. with a seminar describing the company that came to be synonymous with naval aviation for six decades, and conclude with a flight demonstration by the Planes of Fame Grumman TBM-3 Avenger World War II torpedo bomber. Established in 1929 at Long Island, New York by Leroy Grumman, together with partners Jake Swirbul and William Schwendler, Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation became the major supplier of combat aircraft to the U.S. Navy and some of its allies for the next six decades. During World War II, according to some accounts, the reliability and ruggedness of its aircraft led some to refer to the company as “the Grumman Iron Works,” though other accounts say that the nickname came about because a major plant expansion early in World War II was made possible by the use of scrap steel from a torn-down New York City elevated train system. Still involved with naval aviation, Grumman merged with Northrop Corporation in 1994 to become Northrop Grumman.
