On August 3, 2024, Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, CA, will host a special event focusing on the Vietnam War. The event will feature various presentations focused on the Vietnam War from 1955 to 1975. Two of the programs include an overview of the famous Operation Rolling Thunder and a look at the Mistys of the Vietnam War. Attendees can witness a flying demonstration of the OV-10D Bronco, restored by Matt Nightingale, and view a screening of the documentary “The Misty Experiment.” The event is included with regular museum admission, and members attend for free.
The Planes of Fame Air Museum will host the OV-10 “Bronco” for a flying demonstration, thanks to Matt Nightingale of Cal AeroFab, who restored and piloted the aircraft. At 12:15 PM, Richard Malvino of the museum gave a presentation on the OV-10, highlighting its design and Vietnam War missions. Following this, Nightingale started the Bronco’s engines and performed an impressive twenty-minute flight demonstration. After the display, visitors had the opportunity to interact with Nightingale and learn more about the aircraft’s restoration and operation. For more information about the event, click HERE.
