I’d like to second ChrisVJ comments on the Greenville Aviation Museum in McMinnville OR. Visited there recently and I was very impressed with both the building and the exhibits.
For those of us familiar with the size of 474’s the ‘Spruce Goose’ does not overwhelm, but ChrisVJ’s excellent first photo puts it in context. The DC3 under the port wing almost looks like a scale model, but I can assure you its not, and the tiny Sopwith Camel parked under the nose of the ‘Goose’ is a full size replica!
As ChrisVJ states it is a little difficult to get to, but if you’re in the Portland area, its well worth the effort.
Regards,
White Bear.
