Warbird and Aviation Museums of the Pacific Northwest


From May 25, 2012 until May 31, 2012 I was able to visit several aviation and warbird museums and related sites in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia.  While I do not normally do photos pages on museums and their inside displays, for this trip I decided to an exception and put together a page for each of the locations I visited.  It should be noted the photos are not comprehensive of all the aircraft in any particular museum, but what I thought was interesting or significant to photograph and include.
