WAAAM Exhibits
The Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum is home to one of the nations largest collections of flying antique aircraft. Below is a list of the aircraft WAAAM has on display. You will find some of the aircraft listed have photos, others do not. We hope you will come visit us and see this collection of antique aircraft first hand. We have also listed our collection of Antique Automobiles, Aircraft Engines, and Aircraft Projects awaiting restoration.
Many museums that display aircraft have committed to never fly their aircraft again. WAAAM believes one of the best ways to preserve our heritage of flight is to demonstrate these aircraft in action. With a highly trained and qualified restoration staff we are able to keep our aircraft in top running order. The museum's pilots are high time, very experienced pilots. WAAAM staff are continually restoring neglected antique aircraft giving them the opportunity to fly once more. All but two of the museums aircraft are original. The two aircraft that are replicas are a 1910 Curtiss Pusher that was replicated in 1932 built by Billy Parker for a movie. Our other replica is a Curtiss Pusher used for the re-enactment of the first airmail flight in our nation's history from Portland to Pearson Field as well as the re-enactment flight off the Multnomah Hotel in 1996. Both of our "Replica" aircraft are very historically valuable.
WAAAM also dedicates many of its resources to its collection of Antique
Automobiles. Many of our automobiles are very rare. We believe in
operating these machines as often as possible. During our special events
many of our antique automobiles are used to transport visitors and
share the thrill of riding in an old “Motorcar” or “Lizzie”.
Below is a comprehensive list of our exhibits. Come and visit us to experience these wonderful exhibits!
