Built in 1943 as part of the Oregon Coast aerial defense, it stands at 175-feet tall, is just over 1,000 feet long and housed K-Class Navy Airships, or as some may say, “Blimps”.  Today, it’s been part of an aerial museum just south of the community of Tillamook; however, strong winds this past winter. Ripped part of the roof off the large hangar and Port officials say it will not be repaired.  An engineering marvel of wood, the damage is high above the wet interior but the Port of Tillamook Bay Board announced, on a 4-1 vote, against proceeding with repairs to the World War II hangar, citing “significant local financial obligations.”  So, it sits, right next to the foundation of the twin hangar built at the same time but burned to the ground in 1992.
