Erickson Aircraft Collection

Erickson Aircraft Collection is a private flying collection at Madras Municipal Airport, founded by Jack Erickson in 1983 and rooted in the former World War II B-17 training base. Its museum and airworthy fleet preserve rare vintage aircraft and related aviation history, with representative P-38 Lightning, P-51 Mustang, Ki-43 Hayabusa, F4U Corsair, SBD Dauntless, Grumman Duck and B-17 Flying Fortress examples. On-site restoration and the Living History Flight Experience connect visitors with the craftsmanship, crews and wartime stories behind the machines. Public visits, flying experiences and aircraft availability follow operator guidance and restoration conditions. Visitor address: 2408 NW Berg Drive, Madras, Oregon 97741, United States.
