The Museum started with one huge building that contained the Spruce Goose. Now there are 3 more buildings: a space museum, an indoor water park and an IMAX-format theater.

The huge Spruce Goose, below, dwarfs dozens of smaller aircraft.

Which reminds me of the recent movie Bridge of Spies, starring Tom Hanks. It's about recovering Gary Powers, the pilot of an earlier spy plane (the U-2) that was shot down over Russia. Great flick!
The Global Hawk unmanned surveillance aircraft, below, looks like a winged whale.
The Museum is located in McMinnville, OR.
