It is included in the flyer they hand you when you go visit the Evergreen museum in McMinnville. In addition to the Spruce Goose, they have an SR-71, a B-17, a Spitfire, an ME-262, and tons of other significant aircraft. They even have a Thunderchief!

Ever been to the Commemorative Air Force museum in Midland, TX? Their stuff flies!

They have the only B-29 Superfortress, Curtiss SB2C Helldiver, and Bell P-39 Airacobra fighter. Then there are the Consolidated B-24A Liberator Diamond Lil', Bell P-63 Kingcobra fighter, Douglas SBD Dauntless and North American P-51D Mustang Red Nose, all of which are one of only two or three of that type still flying today. Rare Axis aircraft operated by the CAF include an original Japanese Mitsubishi A6M3 "Zero" carrier-based fighter and a German Ju-52. These aircraft are all flown regularly in support of the CAF mission.
