Erickson Aircraft Collection

Wonderful collection and an (employee/volunteer?) spent 30 minutes with my family telling stories about the planes and their history. My son Will (7) had a great time and won’t soon forget all the planes he saw. Facility was clean and well cared for including the bathrooms. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Awesome place! Pleasant and helpful employees, cool planes, super clean and they have a large variety of t-shirts. Gorgeous sunsets and beautiful views, and they allow dogs!

A great vintage aircraft collection with many rare World War 2 planes. The first exhibit starts with the history of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and then leads you to the aircraft collection. The hangar is not very big and you can walk around and underneath the planes for an unique experience. It is hard to miss the big bomber from World War 2, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and it is very impressive to walk underneath the plane. The fighter planes that most people read about in history books include the P-38 Lightening, the P-51 Mustang, the FM-2 Wildcat, the TBM Avenger and the P-47 Thunderbolt. A replica of the German fighter plane, the Focke Wulf 190 is also on display. The perimeter exhibits include information onthe Madras Army Air Base, the Doolittle Raiders who trained at the base, local pilots who fought in the war, and the Douglas AD Skyraiders. A few vintage cars including a jeep are a part of the collection. You can fly in many of the vintage planes and information is on their website. Located at the Madras Airport at the end of the road. A must stop for anybody interested in avaition and history with information on the Madras Army Air Base.

National treasure. History you can get so close to and touch (but don't touch). These aircraft feel alive. We are so lucky to have people who restore and preserve these beauties and share them with us. Thanks for your efforts. You can get a Groupon for $7 adult tickets.
