The museum is housed in a former US Navy blimp hangar, called "Hangar B", which is the largest clear-span wooden structure in the world.[1] Constructed by the US Navy in 1942 during World War II for Naval Air Station Tillamook, the hangar building housing the aircraft is {{convert|1072|ft|m}} long and {{convert|296|ft|m}} wide, giving it over {{convert|7|acre|ha}} of area. It stands at {{convert|192|ft|m}} tall. The doors weigh {{convert|30|ST|MT}} each and are {{convert|120|ft|m}} tall. Hangar "B" is one of two that were built on the site originally, Hangar "A" was destroyed by fire in August,1992.[2][3] USA Today described the Tillamook Air Museum in 2004 as "one of the country's top private World War II aircraft collections".[4] However, in April 2013, the museum announced that the part of its collection owned by Jack Erickson would be moving from Tillamook to Madras, Oregon, and all of the World War II aircraft had been removed by September 2014.[5]In November 2014, the owners of Hangar B, the Port Of Tillamook Bay, announced that they would continue operation of the Tillamook Air Museum with the remaining collection.[6][7] In 2016, the Classic Aircraft Aviation Museum moved a number of their aircraft to the museum.[8] CollectionThe museum features a collection of more than 25 aircraft. This is a listing of some of the more notable:[9]
