History
[edit | edit source]Background
[edit | edit source]Jack Erickson, the founder of Erickson Air-Crane, purchased his first warbird, a P-51, in 1980. Three years later, he purchased a Corsair and a Spitfire and began his collection. In 1991, it was placed on loan to the Tillamook Air Museum.[1] However, in April 2013, the collection announced it would not be renewing its lease on the museum.[2] A few months later, the collection purchased a B-17 and reproduction Fw 190 from the Military Aviation Museum.[3]
Move to Madras
[edit | edit source]The collection moved to a new 65,000 sq ft (6,000 m2) facility at the Madras Municipal Airport in Madras, Oregon in May 2014.[4][5]
The collection repainted its B-17 as Ye Olde Pub in 2019.[6][a]
Shortly after being purchased by the Mid-America Flight Museum in 2020, a B-17G from the Lone Star Flight Museum was ferried to the museum for an inspection.[8]
The collection's Corsair and Skyraider were used in the filming of the 2022 movie Devotion.[9][10]
