Музей авиации в Утахе станет новым владельцем и оператором Тилламукского музея авиации

In One Ear: Lifesaver Published 6:00 am Thursday, September 3, 2026 The Tillamook Air Museum‘s existence has been in limbo ever since Hangar B‘s roof was badly damaged, which would cost $3 to $5 million to fix, and full repairs could “easily exceed $20 million,” according to a KGW story. However, in a new deal with the Port of Tillamook Bay, the Vintage Aviation Museum in Utah will become the new owner and operator, and they plan to use the whole blimp hanger (which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places) for “aviation-related exhibits, and relocate “most of” their historic aircraft collection to Tillamook, which would be quite a coup. The Utah museum’s website says they are “dedicated to the preservation of warbirds, vintage aircraft, and related World War II artifacts,” which bodes well for the future. And, fixing up Hangar B will “remain a priority.” All good news. (Photo: Tillamook Air Museum)
