Oracle 195 Posted February 11, 2020 I've been there many times. It's one of our (me and the kids) stops on our way to Super from OW. I've spoken to the owner a couple times. He sells parts to people all over the world. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PbdBlue 46 Posted February 11, 2020 Years ago he had a fleet of vintage planes there but I heard that he moved them to Norcal. Anyway they haven't been in Socal for some years. Nothing but parts now. Also heard that he routinely flew them in movies, tv commercials, etc back in the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken S 164 Posted February 12, 2020 The owner was a friend of my step dad a long time ago. I got to fly in a B25 and ride in the nose turret when I was a kid. Awesome memories. We used to camp at the airfield. We used to fly sail planes out of his compound back when I was piloting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
