Our museum is passionate about restoring old aircr Our museum is passionate about restoring old aircraft in order to teach the public about American aviation history, but we can't always get our hands on specific ones. For example, the Norseman we just finished restoring and flew last week actually served in the RCAF, and this B-25 here did serve in the U.S., but it came to us from Australia! Regardless, we try to restore them to look like their American versions with a little creative license. 

They've been through different versions and unique updates in their lifetimes, so sometimes we like to give them new nose-art too! If you've never seen a tiger quite like this on a plane before, it's because that B-25 used to be a fuel plane, so this nose-art was done for a special Exxon mobile promotion. 

This time around, we'd love for our fans to have a say when it comes to the Norseman. We may even be considering a contest! 👀 🤫 If you have any artistic background, start thinking of ideas now. What kind of image would you put up here if you could?

The Douglas DC-3 entered airline service in 1936 a The Douglas DC-3 entered airline service in 1936 and it changed everything. 

For the first time, airlines could turn a profit carrying passengers instead of relying on mail contracts. With room for 21 passengers, it helped launch the modern airline industry.

Then, in wartime, it became the C-47 “Gooney Bird”—a true workhorse that carried troops, cargo, and critical supplies day and night, in all conditions… even over the deadly Himalayan route known as “The Hump.”

This aircraft didn’t just witness history—it helped shape it.

✈️ Come see it for yourself at Yanks Air Museum—where aviation history is preserved and the legacy of those who served lives on.

Casey's pretty strong, but he may have bit off mor Casey's pretty strong, but he may have bit off more than he can chew there this weekend. 😂 

Regardless, we all had a blast at Classic Rotors in Ramona, CA on Saturday! We got a full tour from Mark Diciera and had our R4B rotor blades checked out for repair. It was amazing to get such an in-depth look at some pretty rare aircraft. Have you ever been?
Nicknamed “Heinemann’s Hot Rod,” the A-4 Skyhawk p Nicknamed “Heinemann’s Hot Rod,” the A-4 Skyhawk proved that a small, simple aircraft could deliver outsized performance. Designed as the jet-powered successor to the AD Skyraider, the A-4 was intentionally compact, lightweight, and cost-effective at a time when fighters were growing larger and more complex. The result was the lightest and smallest jet attack aircraft built in the United States, yet one capable of carrying a formidable weapons load from both carriers and land bases.

Though conceived as a straightforward attack platform, the Skyhawk was continuously upgraded to employ the latest ground-attack weapons. It went on to serve not only with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps but also with air arms around the world, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, Israel, Kuwait, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Singapore. More than 2,900 were built over a 22-year production run, with the A-4C becoming the most numerous early variant. The Skyhawk saw combat in Vietnam, the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, the Falklands War, and even briefly during the 1991 Gulf War.

Our aircraft was delivered on September 11, 1962, and was initially assigned to VA-86 at NAS Oceana, then it was deployed aboard USS Independence. It later served with VMA-224 at MCAS Cherry Point and VA-64 at NAS Oceana before multiple assignments to VA-44 at NAS Cecil Field. In 1967, it deployed with VA-15 aboard USS Intrepid, followed by service with VA-172 and another period with VA-44. From October 1967 to February 1969, it flew with VA-83 aboard USS Shangri-La and USS John F. Kennedy, later returning to VA-83 at NAS Cecil Field. Its final assignments included duty at NAS Los Alamitos and MCAS El Toro before transfer to AMARC at Davis-Monthan AFB in May 1971. It was stricken on August 19, 1977, and joined our collection in 2001.
