It started with the very friendly young lady at the entrance and remained a wonderful experience. The ability to walk among these old aircraft was awesome! To think that these aircraft were actually flying during wartime is simply amazing. If only they could talk and tell their history! I would have loved to be able to sit in the cockpit and experience the thrill of flying in one of these fantastic aircraft!!

About Erickson Aircraft Collection
Some of the biggest heroes of WWII are on display inside the Erickson Aircraft Collection. In 1983, Jack Erickson started to collect rare but significant aircraft from aviation's history with a special emphasis placed on Navy and Air Force planes from WWII. Eventually, the collection grew to a size that warranted its own custom-built 64,00-square-foot hangar.
- Size: more than 20 rare aircraft that sprawl across an open hangar
- Eye Catcher: the B-17's nose art, which was painted by aviation artist and historian Gary Velasco
- Early Airliner: the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, which was a readily recognized U.S. Army Air Force fighter in use during WWII
- Something More Acrobatic: the P-47 Thunderbolt, which was able to dive with grace despite being the heaviest armed single-engine American fighter of WWII
- Hidden Gems: A working jeep and tank also sit out on the hangar floor, though they most likely can't fly.
- On Display: remnants of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's Mitsubishi G4M shot down by WWII fighter pilot Rex T. Barber
- Special Events: You can see many of the planes in flight during local air shows.

Beautiful facility in delightful Madras, Oregon. This place was clean, tidy, and had some of the most gorgeous planes in history so up close and personal you could touch them, but don't. A lot of these beauties are airworthy or are actively being restored to airworthiness and touching them could be detrimental to that process. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this museum to anyone with a serious interest in military aircraft and for those with just some curiousity about them. I can't wait to go back.
