Tillamook Air Museum

The Tillamook Air Museum is an aviation museum that displays military and civilian aircraft inside a large wooden hangar. The building contains various interactive exhibits, including a wartime air raid shelter and a walk-through pigeon loft from a Naval Air Station.

The United States Navy built this large wooden hangar in 1943 to house K-class airships for anti-submarine patrol missions during World War II. The structure was constructed with local timber resources from the region.

The site displays wartime objects such as pieces of the Hindenburg airship, a Luftwaffe flight jacket, and a Japanese Army winter flight suit. These items tell stories of people who flew during World War II.

Visitors should allow enough time to explore the various aircraft and exhibits at a comfortable pace, as the hangar grounds are expansive. There are several interactive areas that can be visited during your visit.

The building is one of the largest clear-span wooden structures in the world and was constructed with timber from the Pacific Northwest. This construction method makes it a noteworthy example of mid-20th-century wooden building techniques.
