Yanks Air Museum Proudly Supports Wounded Warrior Project With Donations in July

Yanks Air Museum Proudly Supports Wounded Warriors Project

 Looking for a way to give back to our courageous military heroes? Come visit Yanks Air Museum in Chino, CA. A portion of every museum admission ticket purchased in
the month of July will be donated to the Wounded Warriors Project.

Yanks Air Museum celebrates the 4th of July all month long. 

For the month of July, the aircraft museum will donate $1.00 of each basic admission ticket and $2.00 of each VIP admission ticket purchased at the museum to the Wounded Warriors Project. The veterans’ organization has helped empower and honor injured military service members and assist their families since 2011. Thanks to the Wounded Warrior Project’s efforts, our military heroes returning from current conflicts are better supported than ever before. The non-profit family oriented aviation museum at Chino Airport owns a collection of nearly 200 historic airplanes.

A long-time supporter of military and civilian aviation, the Yanks Air Museum collection is considered one of the most prominent in the world. Included is a WWI Curtiss Jenny – the first mass produced aircraft with interchangeable parts.  Constructed of wood and fabric, the Jenny was the basic Army trainer for American and Canadian pilots in World War I. It was also used to track Pancho Villa from the air in 1916 throughout his rampage in Mexico. A model plane collection and an “insider’s” peak at the restoration workshops of the museum are also offered. Call for information about special re-enactor and flight days. www.YanksAir.com, Phone 909-597-1735 Email: info@yanksair.com
