Chino is, for the time being, surrounded by farmland. The aroma is part of
the experience and makes it Chino. I tried to tell my friends this as we
passed fields of cows and sheep. They didn't buy it. I guess you have to
really love the airplanes.

What is it about Chino, anyway? Some years ago I took a ride on a DC-3
that
was part of an air show at Cable airport in Upland, Calif. When I climbed
aboard I noticed a definite aroma of cow manure. I thought maybe the
airplane had been used as a fertilizer hauler, but it had all its
passenger
seats. Back on the ground I asked a bystander if he had any idea why the
plane was redolent of cattle poop. "Oh, it's from Chino," he said, as if
that explained it all, and he offered no details.

Yeah, stay away from Chino airport unless you're actually going to the
airport.
