wrote: http://www.tillamookair.com Just wanted to add to the Tillamook, Oregon listing. I live 10 minutes by RV-6 from the Tillamook air museum. The building is almost as interesting as the aircraft. It is an old WWll blimp hangar and is the largest wooden structure in the world. There used to be two hangars but about 10 years ago one of them burned down while being used to store hay. If you land on runway 1 at Tillamook, OR (S47), just continue to the north end and then taxi to the Blimp Hangar. Otherwise backtaxi on 19. You can park right next to the door. There's an cafe for your hundred dollar burger, although it's closed until March 6. Jerry's right -- The Blimp Hanger is itself worth a trip. It covers seven acres. Be sure to check out the basketball hoops at each end, 1072 feet apart, 192 feet high. There's a free film about the hangar construction. It was planned before WWII, and then after Pearl Harbor the builders were told to rush, but not use steel as that was needed for other things. So they used wood. Some of the timbers made from old growth Douglas Fir are 12x16". - John Ousterhout - |

25. New England Air Museum at Bradley International Airport, (BDL) Windsor Locks, CT. They have a website ,but it appears to be down. The only time I visited, I went by car. As I recall, it's a separate entrance from the airline terminal. I don't know how it stands with respect to GA. Very nice museum. It has an early Cub, maybe a J-2? No brakes, in any event. A Corsair with a stairs for kids' tour groups; I sweet-talked the docent into letting me go up and sit in the cockpit, a real thrill. A B-47 outdoors (maybe indoors now?) that I also went through, since I was at a B-47 vets' reunion. A wonderful old flying boat, with a vintage car to go with it. A gift shop with none of my books in it all the best -- Dan Ford email: see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com |

"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:%rVKb.85315$xX.597512@attbi_s02... WOW! I had no idea this thread would be so productive! Here is the list, compiled from all of your posts I'm going to add a page of these museums to our aviation-theme hotel's website, once we've got it compiled. What a terrific tool this will be! Add more if you can! Jay, Valparaiso, IN - Indiana Aviation Museum http://www.in-am.org/ We offer rides in the airplanes. I know Al Stix does rides at Creve Coeur also. You might consider including that info for the museums who offer it. Kris |
