Victory Air Museum. 28944 N. Gilmer Rd., looking NW. The property also has an air strip certified by Lake County. Still there, but for sale currently. Looks like some P-51s in the background.

The Victory Air Museum was owned by Amilio "Paul" Polidori (1912-1985) and co-founder Earl Reinert. The museum started in the early 60s and contained about a dozen World War II fighter planes. Paul was killed in an airplane crash on June 28, 1985 near the museum with his passenger, James Pribilski, an aerial photographer.
