Orange County Network: Lyon Air Museum – Planes, Trains & Automobiles

About this event

@

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.

Make it a full morning: start with coffee at our Bruin Brew at the nearby Lion & Lamb Coffee Roasters (8:30 to 10am), then explore the hangar with fellow Bruins from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Bruin Brew is a separate event, so please also register for the coffee social!
