Brandon has already told us this, but this was on AvWeb today!
CHINO YEILDS FOSSILIZED WARBIRDS: A taxiway construction project at Chino Airport has turned up a warbird graveyard -- it seems that Chino was one of the nation's main facilities used for the disassembly of aircraft following World War II, and now pieces of WWII aircraft are being found in earth excavated for the taxiway project. Keenly aware that there may be gold in them thar piles of dirt, San Bernardino County has sealed off the piles until an assessment of their contents reveals their value. Nearly 1,400 warbirds were dismantled on the field and volunteers with the Air Museum Planes of Fame have so far collected about a dozen parts ranging from gear doors to bolts.
