Once while driving down to the Oregon coast, I was very surprised to be driving through a rural area and suddenly see a 747 parked near the highway, at what appeared to be a very small airfield. Now that I know what the place is, I definitely won't visit the coast again without going to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum.

If you're not into water slides, maybe some of these exhibits at the museum next door will interest you:

- Spruce Goose

- Mercury Space Capsule

- NASA X-38

- SR-71 Blackbird
