Oregon Route 18 separates the museum from the company operations and McMinnville Municipal Airport (KMMV).

The Hughes H-4 Hercules (also known as the "Spruce Goose"; registration NX37602) is a prototype heavy transport aircraft designed and built by the Hughes Aircraft company.
The aircraft made its first and only flight on November 2, 1947, and the project never advanced beyond the single example produced. Built from wood because of wartime restrictions on the use of aluminum and concerns about weight, its critics nicknamed it the "Spruce Goose," despite it being made almost entirely of birch rather than spruce. The Hercules is the largest flying boat ever built and has the largest wingspan of any aircraft in history.
It survives in good condition at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, USA.

Spirit of St. Louis (replica)
Spirit of St. Louis was a high-altitude aircraft with which Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic in May 1927. The aircraft, originally designated Ryan NYP, was designed by Donald Hall of Ryan Airlines based on the Ryan M-2 model, and was named after the city of St. Louis, because the city contributed financially to its construction. The plan to cross the Atlantic was also supported by the vision of winning the Orteig Prize - $ 25,000, written by hotelier Raymond Orteig in 1919. Hall and Ryan Airlines staff and Lindbergh worked feverishly to rebuild the aircraft. They built it in just 60 days, at a cost of about $ 10,000. The rush was completely in place. In the spring of 1927, more pilots and groups were about to make a transatlantic flight and win the Orteiga Prize.
