Our first stop in Oregon--Tillamook! We visited the cheese factory and sampled some great cheddars. Loved visiting the Air Museum just south of town. HUGE hangers, built to house the blimps used as escorts for freight convoys during WWII, were filled with vintage airplanes, vehicles, and engines.
Matt had a blast sitting in all of the cockpits pretending to be the pilot and watching the WWII documentaries. Me too!!! (No, not sitting in the plane, but watching the films--you silly friends!)
(While the blimps were being used, there were NO casualties or lose of cargo! Japanese submarines were easily spotted before they could torpedo any of the ships.)

At the Cheese Factory--self-guided tour

| Sorry, no clue... |
 |
| This is the hanger--smiles. Matthew is standing at the left of the opening below the gray line...yeah, the dot. |
 |
| Again, sorry... I do, however, know it is a biplane... |
 |
| Blimp information--Look at the size of the Hindenburg! |
 |
| Although this plane was called a "duck", I think it looks more like a banana! |
did the cheese factory give free samples... LOVE their cheese!
