Several important updates regarding the Tillamook Air Museum’s damaged historic Hangar B were shared during Port of Tillamook Bay Board meeting on June 18, 2026.
Port Board President Jack Mulder emphasized that the Port has NOT walked away from Hangar B or its future. While the Board previously voted not to commit additional Port funds toward the Hangar B repair project, discussions with potential partners continues actively behind the scenes. Mulder noted that the Port remains supportive of efforts to preserve Hangar B and is exploring partnerships that could help address both the local match requirements associated with potential FEMA funding and the long-term preservation of the hangar.
Friends of the Tillamook Air Museum President Dallas Adams also addressed the Board and emphasized that preserving Hangar B will require greater awareness, support, and involvement. He encouraged continued collaboration between community members, preservation organizations, public agencies, and potential partners, noting that as long as Hangar B remains standing, there is still time and opportunity to find solutions.The Port has received grant documents from the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) and continues to work with OEM and FEMA on projects associated with the December storm damage to Hangar B. Those projects include repairs related to the hole in the hangar, emergency safety repairs, and the large flap of roofing that was peeled back during the storm and continues to pose a safety concern.
