On our way back from Havasu acouple of weeks ago we made a detour to take the kids to the Evergreen Aviation Museum atMcMinnville OR. Access by road is terrible but it is worth the trip. The building is new (and the first of five,) and custom built, A new Imax opens soon.
Of course the main even is actually too big to get in a frame:
Just the scale of her tail is surprising.
There were lots of other interesting aircraft too,
Like this Gee Bee Sportster replica
And I love the detail on this Trimotor.
Well where else would you put theluggage?
There were the usual Spitfire and Mustang but this Bf109 was really tidy too:
A mint Beech Staggerwing:
P38, first decent one I have seen:
These are not quite common as muck over here but I guess they'd be pretty rare in the UK. They have an uncovered renovated model too.
No US museum is without a Curtiss of some sort, (or two or three, )
Altogether worth a visit (Our 1.1/2 hours turned into 3.1/2) if you are near Portland, Oregon.
