Nice photos Ken. Have they built that cafe in the "Goose"? I wondered what those extra windows were for.

As you may have noticed Doug, they did put two additional doors in the side of the fuselage where you can at least say you did get to enter the aircraft. Once in here you find a view fwd and aft through plastic glass but that is all you can see. Lots of reflections to deal with if you want to try to take pics in this darkened area. To access the flight deck you need to pay $20, but if you want to sit in Howards seat, you'll have to cough up an extra $30. So to enter the building you give them $20, $7 for an I-Max presentation and $50 for the pilots seat..........best chunk of $100 gone and thats before they get you into the gift shop or the Cafe which are both in the building, but outside the paid viewing area. Along with this building, they have as I said, an I-Max theatre in its own building. There is also a duplicate building 200yds away which is just starting to display space related items. Launch boosters, lunar rover and lander.....X-15, although to me it looked like a replica, SR-71 with drone....Gemini and Apollo artifacts. This will be a nice area too, once they get a bit more in, but it is accessed for the original price of admission. Under construction, they have a fourth building, topped off with a 747 to be used as a kiddie playground and waterslide park.
And since you have a similar history to myself, you will be interested to hear, they have an R/C field just outside the complex with paved runway. Nice touch !

Great shots! I remember going to see the Spruce Goose when it was still down in Long Beach. Nice to see they made it so you can see inside the aircraft now!
Where exactly is this museum? My parents are moving to Oregon sometime next year and I just wanted an idea of something to do when I visit them.
My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.

More great shots Ken.
I flew in a Ford Tri-Motor before which was really cool!! I didn't realize they could put luggage in the wing.
It looks like a really nice museum.

I didn't know the tri-motor stored luggage in the wing either
Must have been a pain in the pilots butt unless they had a really good load master.
