Antique Cars and Planes in Hood River

The Western Aeroplane and Antique Automobile Museum  (WAAAM) is located at the Ken Jernstedt Airport in Hood River, Oregon. The collection consists of hundreds of autos and planes from the early days of aviation and the motorcar. All have been beautifully restored. The planes are flyable and the cars are driveable. Moreover, they do fly them and they do drive them regularly.  Pasted in below are some photos I took the last time I was at WAAAM.








In the Summer, the museum has an event on the second Saturday of each month where they roll out some of the planes and fly them. They also drive some of the cars and give museum visitors rides in them.  Lots of fun. Highly recommended.

Here is a link to the WAAAM Museum's webpage.

  1. Wow! This is certainly a must-go-and-see! I’m putting it on my bucket list next month. Look at the beautifully refurbished planes and cars – just so magnificent! As an antique car aficionado, I will never miss events like this! =)
