Erickson Aircraft Collection

The Erickson Aircraft Collection is an aviation museum located at the Madras Municipal Airport in Madras, Oregon.

Jack Erickson, the founder of Erickson Air-Crane, purchased his first warbird, a P-51, in 1980. Three years later, he purchased a Corsair and a Spitfire and began his collection. In 1991, it was placed on loan to the Tillamook Air Museum. However, in April 2013, the collection announced it would not be renewing its lease on the museum. A few months later, the collection purchased a B-17 and reproduction Fw 190 from the Military Aviation Museum.

The collection moved to a new 65,000 sq ft (6,000 m²) facility at the Madras Municipal Airport in Madras, Oregon in May 2014.

The collection repainted its B-17 as Ye Olde Pub in 2019.

Shortly after being purchased by the Mid-America Flight Museum in 2020, a B-17G from the Lone Star Flight Museum was ferried to the museum for an inspection.

The collection's Corsair and Skyraider were used in the filming of the 2022 movie Devotion.

The museum holds an airshow called the Airshow of the Cascades once a year.
