We used to park our Huey there when we would do USAF Survival School support for the open water portion of SERE instructor training.

Stopped off at Tillamook back in May '09.  Very cool collection.  That huge wooden blimp hangar is also fascinating. :aok

The P-38 is the twin to the plane Jeff Ethel died in, and is painted as a tribute to Jeff's father Erv Ethel.

If he's still around, and still healthy enough to get out and about, (I've lost touch with him) Captain Stan Richardson Jr. may be seen visiting that plane, as he lives nearby.

Yes I was amazed & thought, "That poor pilot crammed in there for hours...". I thought maybe it was a scale model, but everything else looked "REAL" & the German markings on the instruments too. Couldn't get a good pic inside because of window glare & it was darker in that corner of the Bldg.
