From the air, you will probably notice three large paved circles near the runways. These are airship landing pads, dating back to the days when the airport was used as a Navy blimp base. Our new hangars now occupy one of the former airship pads. Today's traffic includes everything from light passenger planes and modern military fighters to experimental aircraft and airships, as well as daily freight. And don't be surprised if a squadron of vintage warbirds pays a visit as well.
Nothing is uncommon here.
The system was installed in cooperation with Life Flight Network, and the Spirit Mountain Community Fund to aid in helicopter medical service to rural Tillamook County. Once you've dropped in, you can taxi right up to the Air Museum for a tour, or a bite at the cafe. Also new for the Airport is a top flight fuel farm, offering 100LL and Jet-A fuels. A fresh pavement renewal on both runways, as well as lighting upgrades and repaved taxiways make dropping in as smooth and pleasant as driving in the family car. So whether you are bringing in cargo, or just out for a Sunday flight, you'll know why the Tillamook airport is touted as the finest on the coast.
