North American Aerospace Museum

The museum

Known for most of its history as the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, the institution adopted the North American Aerospace Museum name in 2026 while continuing to preserve major aviation and space artifacts.

North American Aerospace Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, United States gives visitors a substantial physical collection centered on large civil and military aircraft, the hughes h-4 hercules, cold war aircraft, stealth technology, missiles, and space exhibits. The museum is especially relevant to visitors interested in civil aviation, military aviation, Second World War aviation, Cold War aviation, and modern aviation, and its displays place surviving machines alongside the broader technical, operational, and preservation story of flight.

This page is designed as more than a location entry. It connects the museum's wider collection to individually verified surviving-aircraft records in the Air Archive, while also giving enough context to understand the institution before planning a visit. The aircraft shown here are a documented subset rather than a claim to reproduce the museum's complete inventory, so additional airframes can be added as their current location and identity are verified.

At McMinnville, the enormous Hughes H-4 Hercules forms a natural starting point for a collection spanning early practical flying, military jets and aerospace programs. The North American Aerospace Museum, formerly Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, also exhibits a Blackbird and is restoring an F-117 Nighthawk. Its official cockpit and sponsorship programs identify further aircraft from the Jenny and Staggerwing through the Skyhawk, Phantom and Cobra.
