About Tillamook Air Museum

The museum sits at the former Naval Air Station Tillamook and occupies Hangar B, a wooden blimp hangar built in 1943 for K-class airships. Its mission is to interpret and preserve the wartime history of the station and the hangar, along with the broader story of civil and military aviation. The building is described as the largest clear span wooden structure in the world, and the site's history includes the Navy squadron that flew eight K-class airships from here during the war.
