2408 NW Berg Drive Madras, OR , 97741-2081 Phone: (541) 460-5065 Website The Erickson Aircraft Collection is a privately owned collection of airworthy vintage aircraft at Madras Municipal Airport. Originally known as Madras Army Air Field, this was a World War II Army Air Corps training base for B-17 Flying Fortress and Bell P-63 Kingcobras. In 2000, the airport began hosting the annual Airshow of the Cascades. The Erickson Aircraft Collection moved from the Tillamook Air Museum to the Madras Airport in 2014. In mid-2015 the airport's north hangar, which was built during World War II, was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
