It's about 40 miles from my front door. The best museum I've been too. Everything is kept in a flying state except for the P-39. Saw quite a few fly at their air show last summer. If you're ever in Central Oregon let me know. Also the Ki 43 isn't a replica, but is in fact built out of several different wrecks. They were also in the process of buying 15 planes from Evergreen Aviation. That would add a P-40, another B-17, Spitfire, Bf 109, another P-38 and some other stuff.

Fascinating! I'm hoping to get up that way sometime for a visit...
