Comments: My wife and I visited the Tillamook Air Museum one afternoon after visiting the Tillamook Creamery. The Air Museum was well worth the time. It's housed in a WWII blimp hangar, which is amazing because over 1,000 feet long and almost 200 feet high and made of wood. The existing hangar and another that burned in the early '90s were part of the Tillamook Naval Air Station during the War and until 1948. The Museum has a great collection of mostly warbirds ranging from an F-14 fighter to a TH-57 training helicopter (which I probably flew in Navy flight training). I thought the best part of the collection was the assortment of WWII aircraft in flying condition, and the displays also recounted the history of the particular planes on display. Helpful and knowledgeable volunteers are available to explain the history and role of each exhibit. I love an air museum, but this was one of the very best I've visited!
