Yes, Chandler is a great place to see big old prop liners but make forward arrangements. It is a long walk in from the front gate - I have done it. Do some research on how to find the place and how to get in to the place. It is not well signposted. . .Another great place not already mentioned is Chino airport. Situated to the west of LA it has some three museums, plus usually a good number of warbirds on the tarmac, coming and going, just gathering dust etc. Enjoy lunch at Flo's Diner, a local icon on the airport. . .Since S11 be prepared to justify your existance at any US airport and carrying a camera. Take ID, trade on your British accent and tell the Yanks that you are just Warbird buffs etc. and that the Brits are up there with the Americans in the war against terrorism.
