Tillamook Air Museum

This was inspired by this post from snowy-

These are probably a repost for me but if they are it was back in TFP 4.0 and they were likely not done as well then. I have some personally harsh critique of some these shots now and almost fixed some of the small problems that I could but I only straightened out the train just a bit.
In any event these look decent for a Canon G2 and less than stellar light.
These are from February 2004, and all link to back to the flikr set they are in. They are the same 'full size' here as they are on there.

Very cool, I actually Googled to read more about it after you and snowy discussed it in the cheese thread. Thanks for posting these.

Well worth the trip if you ever have the opportunity to make it there. The highlights for me were seeing the F-14 from my old ship and even better the B-17. You can look in the interior and that gives you even a small idea of the ride that must have been at 30,000 ft over occupied Europe.

 

I took the wife there on our one trip to Portland a few years back. The 109, Catalina, Avenger and Lightning are beautiful.


also got some cheese

 

The first picture reminds me of a visit to the Aviation museum at Temora (in Australia). While you can't climb in the planes there, most of them are in full working order and (depending on the day) you can see them actually fly
