No Whittier Aviation Museum in California — But Planes of Fame Is Nearby

There is no "Whittier Aviation Museum" in California. The query likely confuses:

• Whittier, CA — city in LA County, no aviation museum
• Planes of Fame Air Museum — Chino, CA (30 mi east of Whittier)

Planes of Fame Air Museum (Chino)

• Founded: 1957 by Ed Maloney — first aviation museum west of Mississippi
• Collection: 160+ aircraft, 50+ flyable — WWII emphasis (P-51, Spitfire, Zero, B-17, F4U)
• Events: Monthly "Living History Flying Days"; annual airshow
• Location: 14998 Cal Aero Dr, Chino, CA 91710 (Chino Airport)

Other SoCal Aviation Museums

• March Field Air Museum (Riverside) — former SAC base
• San Diego Air & Space Museum (Balboa Park)
• USS Midway Museum (San Diego)
• Western Museum of Flight (Torrance)
• Lyon Air Museum (John Wayne Airport, Orange County)

If you meant a different "Whittier" (e.g., Alaska), clarify. But in California, Chino's Planes of Fame is the major collection near Whittier.
