There is a new website for the Madras,Or museum site www.ericksoncollection.com. Have all the planes been moved from Tillamook to the new museum site?

The Guppy hasn't been moved yet (saying several months if they're able to fly it) and some of the ones being trucked haven't been moved yet. Haven't seen anything on their Facebook page recently in the way of an update on them.

I did find this. It looks like the new museum is open for business. www.ktvz.com/news/madras-air-museum-rea ... f/27676570

The Mauler is still in Tillamook, will move this winter. The Guppy will most likely stay but there is still talk of moving it.

I checked their site a couple days ago and when I looked up their B-17 they had as one of the previous owners a "Doc Hoskins". I contacted them about this obvious error as it is "Doc Hospers". I hope they check their contacts and correct this error. Changing a webpage goofup maybe takes time. Great collection and hope to visit sometime, have a brother in Oregon and nephew, works for Boeing, in Seattle, I'll get out there.

They don't seem to answer questions posted there either.

I've asked many many times about the Guppy, and have yet to see a reply... :(
