Re: Supplement to the Planes of Fame Air Museum's Petition for 

Exemption; Docket# FAA-2014-0907 

Dear Sir /Madam: 

Please consider this supplement the Planes of Fame Air Museum's Petition for 

Exemption, permitted by the FAA's initial response seeking additional information. The 

Air Museum thanks the FAA for the opportunity to supplement its original filing. 

I THERE ARE COMPELLING REASONS AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT 

GRANTING THE EXEMPTION WILL BE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND 

WILL PROVIDE SUBSTANTIAL BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC AS A WHOLE. 

A. The Air Museum Requires the Exemption to Continue Its Monthly 

Educational Programs, and its Yearly Airshow, For Its Members and the 

Public at Large. 

As seen by the attachments, the Air Museum is substantially involved in 

educating the public about Aviation history. It does this through monthly educational 

programs, where various historically significant events in aviation history are blended 

with the aircraft and those who flew or maintained them in the past. It also does it 

through a yearly airshow at the Chino Airport. Presently, without the exemption, the Air 

Museum is unable to provide its members, and the public at large, the ability to actually 

IN LOVING MEMORY: JAMES E. BEASLEY, SR. 1926-2004 

. ·' ~ ... : 
U.S. Department of Transportation 

In Re: Planes of Fame Air Museum Petition for Exemption 

12 January 2015 

Page 2 

fly in these historic aircraft. 1 That is a critical component to the Air Museum's 

educational efforts and the granting of the Exemption will permit the Air Museum to 

provide real, "hands on" experiences for anyone in the public that so desires. This is 

particularly necessary, because as historical events get more distant, and the members 

of that generation pass, it will be harder to excite and educate the next generations of 

Americans. Providing 

The Air Museum's yearly Airshow is always dedicated to a particular historic 

event. Whether it is focused on the airwar in the Pacific Theater, the Korean War, or the 

European Theater, the Exemption would permit the Museum to provide the public the 

opportunity to experience the aircraft, just as it desires to during its monthly 

educational seminars. So, too, would an Exemption permit the Air Museum to teach the 

public at large about the human aspect of military aviation. An an example, one need 

look no further than the famous "Tuskeegee Airmen" who flew both the Curtiss P-40 

and the North American P-51 Mustang, both of which are operated by the Air Museum 

and for which the Exemption is sought. Permitting the Air Museum to provide ride 

opportunities in these aircraft, while teaching about the Tuskeegee Airmen's struggles 

and accomplishments, is most definitely in the public's interest. 

Importantly, the Air Museum's location, in Chino, CA, provides year-round 

opportunities for the public to participate in and experience these aircraft. Unlike other 

entities that have been provided the Exemption, the Air Museum can maximize its 

mission to educate the public. It is located in an ideal area, at an ideal airport, to meet 

its and the public's goals. 

B. The Exemption Will Ensure the Highest Level of Safety; Certainly Equal to 

That Provided by the Rule From Which the Air Museum Seeks an 

Exemption. 

Attached to the Air Museum's initial Request was the prior Exemption provided 

to it, which included exceptional detail related to the maintenance of these historic 

aircraft. For the most part, these aircraft can be operated "annual to annual." 

Comparing that to the rigorous and appropriate maintenance schedule of the prior 

Exemption will ensure that the safety and airworthiness of these aircraft will be 

unmatched. And while the Air Museum indeed maintains its aircraft fleet at a level well 

beyond the minimums required by the FAA, the Exemption will ensure that its fleet is 

maintained at the highest levels. Indeed, its pilots and maintenance personnel know 

these aircraft better than most any A&P or lA personnel in the United States. The Air 

Museum is directly affiliated with an internationally known aircraft restoration facility 

known as "Fighter Rebuilders" and its maintenance personnel have international 

reputations for excellence. Requiring the Air Museum to ensure that it complies with 

1 At present, the Air Museum can only offer the sought-after rides in Normal category aircraft, such as the 

AT-6Texan. 
U.S. Department of Transportation 

In Re: Planes of Fame Air Museum Petition for Exemption 

12 January 2015 

Page3 

the Exemption requirements will ensure the highest level of safety for the pilots, 

passengers, and the public at large. 

In sum, the Air Museum has an almost so year history of obtaining, restoring, 

and displaying these historic aircraft. Its pilots of these amazing machines are as highly 

qualified as any in the world. Its pilots consist of Air Race champions, military-trained 

pilots, members of the elite Motion Picture Pilots Association, and member of the 

United States Air Force's "Heritage Flight" program. 

Providing the Air Museum with the sought-after Exemptions will be in the 

public's interest and permit it to fulfill its mission, as it had when Exemption No. 7063, 

Regulatory Docket# 29453 was granted. 

The Air Museum again thanks for FAA for the opportunity to present this 

additional information and is available for any other questions, concerns, or 

suggestions.

Chuck Sweeney. Cdr. 

U.S.N. (Ret.) 

Chuck worked on the Atomic Powered 

Bomber before friend Jim Lovell 

convinced him to become a Navy 

carrier pilot. Chuck's first tour was 

flying S-2E aircraft from the USS 

Yorktown. In Vietnam he transitioned to 

jets, ultimately flying the A-4F with VA22 on the USS Bon Homme Richard in 

the Tonkin Gulf. Chuck was awarded 

three DFCs in one week while flying 

strikes in the A-4F against North Vietnam from the USS Hancock. 

He ended up with 200 combat missions, with his very last mission 

being a large scale attack against the very heavily defended Than 

Hoa Bridge. Cdr. Sweeney's presentation will include a short video 

describing the history of the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC), 

which is the highest aviation medal. He will also discuss the book 

published by the DFC Society "On Heroic Wings: Stories of the 

Distinguished Flying Cross". President Bush wrote the Foreword 

and Jim Lovell did the Introduction. READ MORE ...

Royce Williams, 

Captain U.S.N. (Ret.) 

In 1943 Royce Williams enlisted in the 

Navy, and became carrier qualified in the 

F6F Hellcat on the old USS Ranger (CV-4). 

He flew the F6F, and later the F4U Corsair 

and the F8F Bearcat. Royce eventually transitioned to jets, where 

his first operational deployment was on board the USS Oriskany, 

flying the F9F-5 Panther. 

In 1952, while deployed in Korea with the VF-781, Royce engaged 

seven Soviet-piloted MiG-15s. With his Panther badly shot up, 

Royce limped back to the Oriskany. Although credited with one MiG 

kill, it is believed that Royce actually downed three of the bogies. 

Royce retired from the Navy in 1980. He served as an exchange 

pilot with the USAF flying the F-86 and F-1 00. He also served as 

CO, XO of VF-33 on board the USS Enterprise flying the F8-E 

Crusader, and later on board the USS America flying the F-4
