| Tillamook was an important air
station during the Second World War. Blimps flown from here patrolled the west coast all the way up to the Canadian border They have a single blimp handger left that is practically identical to the ones in Sunnyvale, CA |
 This is one of those places there they have airplanes hanging from the ceiling and a little gift shop for us tourists who cannot resist |
 This air station based sub-hunter blimps during WWII 1st photo shows areas of responsibility for the various air bases 2nd shows eight blimps in this hangar |
 You can see here how the hangar dwarf the airplanes 
 
 |
 In a corner, they have some vehicles from the era Including a Russian motorcycle obviously a rip-off of the German design |
 Outside the hangar they have a "Flying Buppy" a huge cargo airplane, military and then converted to commercial before finally being retired here The cockpit looks dated with all the analog guages and dials and switches 
 Left photo is looking into the tail, right looing forward |
