Latest McMinnville hotel reviews
glabah Says: I can't say too much about the new water park that is located on the grounds of the Evergreen Aviation Museum, and neither can anyone else. This is because it will open sometime in the summer of 2011. However, the structure looks spectacular - mostly because it has a Boeing...
Evergreen Aviation Museum / "Spruce Goose"
glabah Says: In his honor, it should be noted that the "Spruce Goose" name was a creation of news reporters, was particularly despised by Howard Hughes, and not particularly accurate (the plane features birch as its primary building component, not spruce!). However, that is what we have...
Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum
Herkbert Says: The Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum is the home to the famous "Spruce Goose" airplane. Flown only once, this huge plane, made of wood by Howard Hughes is really cool to see. Besides the chance to see this iconic plane, there are also many other planes that are located at...

Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum Grounds
SteveOSF Says: Throughout the grounds immediately outside the Evergreen Aviation & Space, some interesting exhibits can be found. This includes a few of the museum aircraft as well as some historic military vehicles. The military vehicles are mostly old tanks and armored reconnaissance...
grantl Says: Mostly the Parks, they are nice, clean and relaxing. Mabe have a family lucnch or just hang-out.
SteveOSF Says: This circa 1943 instrument trainer is displayed at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. In an age of high-tech aviation simulators, it is had to imagine this device being used to train military pilots. Yet the museum affords us a brief return to a simpler, perhaps more...
SteveOSF Says: A rare flyable Avenger World War II torpedo bomber is kept by the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. This was a carrier based American bomber. The crews of these airplanes had to fly in low and release a torpedo at close range at enemy ships. This involved getting past any...
SteveOSF Says: A sleek, twin engine P-38 Lightning resides within the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. This World War II era aircraft was the Army's first fighter to achieve a speed greater than 400 miles per hour. Fast and powerful, a Lightning could deliver a potent punch to an...
De Havilland D.H.-100 Vampire Mk.52

SteveOSF Says: An American P-40 is displayed at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. P-40s were the standard United States Army Air Corps fighter at the beginning of the Second World War. The P-40 was used in almost every theater of action. It was even used by the American Volunteer...
SteveOSF Says: An airworthy Corsair, with its distinctive bent wing, is on display at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. The Corsair was an American fighter used by the Marine Corps and Navy Pilots during World War II. This fast, rugged, and maneuverable airplane could easily tangle...
SteveOSF Says: A B-17 Flying Fortress is on display at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. The rugged B-17 was an American heavy bomber during World War II. The Flying Fortress got its name from the amount of armaments defending the aircraft. B-17s served in both Europe and the Pacific....
