Flying Fortresses, Mustangs, WWII Jeeps and Motorcycles at the Lyon Air Museum
This is the last meetup in our Planes, Trains, and Automobiles-themed events! Join fellow UCLA alumni, friends, and families at the Lyon Air Museum, a hangar on the west side of John Wayne Airport filled with World War II-era aircraft, military vehicles, motorcycles and classic cars.
Walk beneath the wings of the B-17 Flying Fortress "Fuddy Duddy," a VIP transport in the Pacific at the end of World War II. See a B-25 Mitchell, the bomber type best known for the daring Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942. Nearby is the P-51D Mustang "Sierra Sue II," one of the war's most effective fighters. The collection also includes the DC-3 "Flagship Orange County," the airliner that made air travel profitable, plus a C-47 Skytrain, an A-26 Invader and a classic Stearman biplane. With military motorcycles, Jeeps, and cars parked among the planes, it's a planes-and-automobiles stop in one.
