It has probably been 20 years since I've visited the
Tillamook Air Museum (
KTMK). The collection in this WWII blimp hangar has diminished over the years but there was still quite a lot to see. As I remember, the entire hangar was full of aircraft, but now only about half contains aircraft and the remaining half of the hangar is used for RV storage. You can still taxi to the museum via runway 01 and the taxi way has been repaved. There are also new hangars on the museum side of the airport. Something else that was nice to see, was that the
Port Of Tillamook has renovated the pilot lounge and added a crew car. In addition to visiting the museum, one can take the crew car into town to tour the
Tillamook Creamery) or visit the beach.
