We wanted to share an update on the roof repairs for Hangar B here at the Tillamook Air Museum.
We are happy to report that things are moving forward!
As many of you know, the Port of Tillamook Bay has contracted with a company to remove the damaged roof flap and complete the necessary asbestos abatement around the opening that was created by the major storm in December of last year.
Following a delay in the contractor’s schedule, that work is now scheduled to begin Monday, September 14th and is expected to take approximately two to four weeks to complete.
In the meantime, the Vintage Aviation Museum and Tillamook Air Museum are actively working to get contractors, materials, and plans lined up so that once the roof flap has been removed and the abatement work is complete, we can move as quickly as possible into repairing and closing the hole in the roof.
Our goal is simple: get Hangar B secured and the roof repaired before the winter weather really sets in.
There is still a lot of work ahead, but so far, so good. We are making progress, and we remain fully committed to protecting, preserving, and restoring this incredible historic WW II blimp hangar.
Thank you to everyone who continues to follow along, support the Museum, and share our excitement about the future of Hangar B and the Tillamook Air Museum!
Please stay tuned. We’ll continue sharing updates as the work progresses!
