Definately a cool museum. Boeing's Museum of Flight in Seattle has another.
Another Northwest aviation museum that is less known is at Tillamook, Oregon. An massive old blimp hangar, a wood structure that housed up to eight (8!) blimps is now a museum with a wide variety. What makes it different, is that the airplanes are not over-restored. Some don't look restored at all. They saw a unique airplane, parked it inside the hangar, and put a drip pan to catch the oil under it. Real airplanes drip oil.
It's fun to fly in. There is parking there for both cars and airplanes.
The Spruce Goose museum is also a short walk from the McMinnville airport.
