Hangar B, which now houses the Tillamook Air Museum, takes shape in this 1943 photo from the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum. One of the arched trusses, which were prefabricated and then set in place using two cranes, begins to take shape in the foreground.
	Ancient warbirds aren't the only thing you will find at the museum. One of the modern centerpieces is this F-14 Tomcat, still considered one of the most versatile planes in the Navy aresenal.
	Though never thought of as a museum piece at the time, the Douglas DC-3 and its military equivalent, the C-47, were once plentiful in the skys across America, and helped revolutionize commercial air travel.
	One of the largest propeller-driven planes ever produced, the Boeing 377 mini-guppy is almost as distinctive a sight as the museum hangar itself.
	Interpretive exhibits help the museum tell the story of early flight and its connection to the Tillamook area. Included in one exhibit on lighter than air flight is this model of the U.S.S. Macon, the largest airship ever built. The Macon, a twin to the U.S.S. Akron, was lost off of the California coast in 1935, seven years before N.A.S. Tillamook was commissioned.
	Sitting inside, the museum's numerous aircraft are dwarfed by the immense size of the hangar. This PBY-5A Catalina is no exception.
