And right after they got the big plane flying.

Maybe the museum up near Portland that has the Spruce Goose will take it.

That's the Evergreen Aviation museum in McMinnville, about an hour south of Portland. They have an SR-71, too. I make a pilgrimage once a year just to touch it :D

First time I saw it was surreal.

I was on a wine tour and on the way back to the hotel looked out the window and was gobsmacked. “Woah... that’s the Spruce Goose! The Spruce Goose is here!?!”

Cancelled the next day’s tour and hit up the museum instead.

Highly recommended.

> The Spruce Goose is here!?!”

And a 747 on the roof.

Wow I'll have to check that place out. The Boeing Air & Space Museum is also a great one to visit - they also have an SR-71, which believe you me satisfied every childhood dream I had about that aircraft.

The one in Tacoma, near the Boeing Field? That isn't SR-71, it is the M-21/D-21 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_D-21

Just on a tangent, it's amazing how huge the spruce goose is.
