The Tillamook Air Museum closed indefinitely in December 2025 after a winter windstorm ripped a 200‑foot‑long hole into the roof of Hangar B, and Sean O’Brien of the Utah‑based Vintage Aviation Museum bought Hangar B for $1 and the museum’s remaining assets for $20.
The museum is scheduled to reopen on Oct. 29, 2026, with a grand opening from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; O’Brien estimates roof repairs will cost no more than $450,000, far less than the $2.5 million to $6.5 million estimated by port officials, and Hangar B measures 175 feet tall, 1,072 feet long and nearly 300 feet wide, enough to hold six football fields.
