Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum, McMinnville Oregon

I have to admit right from the start,
 I am no aviation/space expert.
I am a passive observer and partner when it comes to touring these facilities. I took a few photos to entice others who are avid aviation/space buffs.

Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum now  has an I-Max showing 3D documentaries, as well as a water park with a  slide down and  out of a Bowing 747.



Just after Orvill and Wilber Wright perfected flight everyone jumped in to create their version of a flight vehicle.
