This is a must see museum absolutely fantastic, Nice snack bar with great hotdogs. Be sure to get your picture taken in the cockpit of the Spruce goose
61-7971 lives here. This is the most accurate SR-71 on display, and 1 of 2, reactivated when the program was brought back in 1995. She has logged 3512.5 hrs of flight time over the course of 31 years.
You can see the Spruce Goose (of The Aviator movie fame), and tour it on the inside with a volunteer guide for a little extra for your group. I’d highly recommend getting the tour, unique experience!
The museum, iMax and the water park are fun. The price for the water park though is a little bit too high for me. I would rather go else where and be able to buy more things with my kiddos.
Large number of aircraft and spaceship display. Needed hours to see them all including a movie. Must place to go aircraft fans if you have chance to visit Portland. Less than one hour drive.
Check out the solar system mosaic that spreads from the entrance of the Space museum to the entrance to the Aviation museum. (No, Pluto is not its own planet, which the plaques explain.)

Home to the famous Flying Boat the "Spruce Goose.” With Howard Hughes at the controls on Nov 2, 1947, it flew approximately a mile at an altitude of 70 feet for about 1 minute. It was her only flight. En savoir plus
This museum has a pretty decent collection. Some worth naming are A-4 Skyhawk, Mig-29 Fulcrum, F-14 Tomcat, F-15 Eagle, A Mig-17 and of course, the Spruce Goose
