Oregon Air & Space Museum — Attraction in Junction City

First BIG THANK YOU TO JOHN FOR ALL THE GREAT INFORMATION!! WE LEARNED SO MUCH !! YOUR FULL OF KNOWLEDGE!! YOUR AWESOME!! We took 2 of our granddaughters ( Elisea 2 & Addison 13) they both had a good time and so did me and my husband!! It was AMAZING!!! It's actually the block to the left right before the airport!! It's awesome!! Not only do they have big planes to learn about and see, but they have old uniforms, photos, newspaper articles, old pins!! You name it they got it!! Oh and don't know how many model planes and jets they have on display but it's alot!! They also have some planes for kids and adults where u can get in and sit in the drivers seat, push buttons and get the feel of what it's like to fly a plane!! We took lots of pictures and had a wonderful time! I didn't know this was here until last year. The price is the best in town and I'm pretty sure if u can't afford it they would let u in for free!! A really really nice bunch of folks!!! Take your family and friends!! It's fascinating. Commercial airlines section, where u get to see the model planes and what they used to wear!! Oh man!! I will go back again and again!! To be honest their giftshop was my favorite part we bought the girls each a jet and some pictures. My husband got this giant blue plane he flies in the yard it loops up to 3 times when he throws it!! Its so cool!! So happy...

We're locals who made their first visit here along with some out of town family members. The grandkid loved that she was allowed to sit inside a real tiny jet airplane and a couple experimental aircraft, as well as a tail hook carrier landing game. The docents were all pilots with thousands of hours of flying experience, including a gentleman who served in the US Air Force in Korea and Vietnam and a British air woman. They graciously shared their time and experience, helping interpret and direct attention and add stories. The two buildings are stuffed with as many exhibits as they can fit in, and some exhibits are yet to be documented and interpreted... at least a dozen aerial photography cameras with immense lenses, for example. The big heavyweight craft are A-4 and A-6 US Navy carrier fighters, accompanying many other museum scale replicas and a huge array of scale model airplanes, navigation and radio equipment. The space side of the museum does not have much in the way of actual space hardware, but does have a lot of models. There is one piece of space junk... an early Gemini service module gas pressure sphere which flew in space, reentered, and washed up on an Oregon beach some time later. Fortunately I live close by, as I need to make more visits back here to truly appreciate and explore the details stuffed into crannies that there was...

Was very impressed with the museum and friendly knowledgeable staff. Located just next to Mahlon Sweet/Eugene Airport.(Might be a little difficult to find, as there aren't many roadside leader signs guiding to where it's located.) Great exhibits, aircraft, models, and aviation memorabilia. Sad and a shame this museum doesn't get more notariety. I've been to quite a few air, flight, and space museums, and this one certainly stands out among them. There's a great gift and souvenir area at the entrance with many nice and affordable items. The exhibit itself was/is much larger and extensive then I imagined it would be. There's no restaurant/snack kiosk, so eat before or after your visit. Admission fees are very reasonable. I plan on going back again soon, as I got caught up in listening to many great stories and experiences of some of the Veteran volunteer staff on hand during my first visit. It's a great (little-known) museum/exhibit, but well worth visiting, and I'd recommend it to...
