It's Planes of Fame and the lot next door with the F-89 and C-46 who I'm not sure owns it.
The guy acts like he doesn't know who's aircraft these are, but he's obviously on Planes of Fame's ramp and property, so he had to have gone through the door. He's acting it up a bit.

I'd never seen the stuff stored outside before, nor have I ever visited Chino even though I lived in S. California for 35 years.

Early in the video, you'll see a cowling pointed up, with a White air scoop on it. Is that from Jack Slicker's "Escape" Bear Cat racer? or just one from a B-25 ? geek

Is that missile damage on the drone at the beginning?

If so, isn't it unusual that it made it back onto the ground?

Yes and probably.

I remembered reading here that this was a composite of two a/c; I checked Baugher and...

Joe Baugher wrote:

(56-)3141 (MSN 235-239) to MASDC Mar 15, 1979 as FE478. Converted as QF-100D drone no. 291. Damaged when hit by AIM-120 fired by F-15 at Holloman Feb 22, 1988. Drone was recovered at Northrop Strip but was not repaired. In mid-1996 was at Evergreen Heritage Collection, Marana, AZ along with 56-2992. The stated intention at that time was to use both airframes (they were both damaged) to construct one intact airframe for static display. Noted at Planes of Fame, Chino, CA Jan 2002.

Note this earlier photo from the Registry:

Not sure how much of this is '3141 and how much is '2992.
