We want to let you know that we will re-open on Thursday, June 27 at 10:00 am. Thank you all so much for your support and kind words during this trying time.

We can now confirm the names of those involved in

We can now confirm the names of those involved in the crash of our Lockheed 12A Electra Junior: Yanks Chief Operating Officer Frank Wright, and Pilot-in-Command Michael “Mike” Gilles. Mike was from Aliso Viejo, CA, and had been the Pilot-in-Command of the Lockheed 12A for Yanks during the last several years. He held an Airline Transport Certificate, Multi-Engine Instructor Certificate, and a current and valid medical certificate. Mike flew as captain on the Lockheed 12 in the left seat on the day of the incident. The airplane was not required to have two rated pilots on board, but Frank assisted in flying procedures and operations from the right seat.

Yanks is still cooperating with authorities in their investigation of the incident. Several people close to Yanks have been invaluable in their assistance to the families during this tragedy, and we would like to thank them as well as everyone who has expressed their condolences and support over the last few days.

The museum remains closed as we navigate through this difficult time, but we will update you on the status of the museum over the coming days.

Shortly after noon yesterday, one of our aircraft

Shortly after noon yesterday, one of our aircraft was involved in an accident in an unoccupied field near Chino Airport resulting in two fatalities aboard the aircraft. At this time we are working with local authorities and the FAA. Yanks Air Museum will be closed until further notice as our family deals with this tragedy, and we appreciate your patience and respect for our privacy as we navigate through this difficult time.

Did you know that our Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer used to be a water bomber? We acquired this ex-coast guard bird in 2006 after it retired from firefighting in 2002.

Who knows what plane is on the right in the second photo? Bonus points if you can get the variant too!

Thanks for the photos @flyltmc
