Hello my name is Ryan Gilmore and I have a deep passion for aerospace history particulary in Southern California. I was born and raised in the college town of Claremont. My families link to aerospace history started with my grandmothers job at Northrop during World War 2 and continues today with my travels. My grandmother witnessed the first flight of the XB-35 an event that would greatly shape my fathers and my personal interests through her story telling.

This website is to document my wreckchasing, air museum, and airshow trips that I frequently make. I will be listing aircraft under company of manufacture. The pictures will mostly be individual profiles of particular aircraft. I do not publicly post pictures for every wreck I visit for some are just too sensitive to share.
