Milwaukie, Oregon - World War II Bomber Gas Station I visited the Bomber Complex (as it is officially named) on July 27th 2008 for their once-yearly cruise-in/car show. The nose section and miscellaneous small exterior parts and panels are still missing, and are currently being restored.
Proceeds from outdoor food sales and raffles went towards the ongoing restoration effort.
Each July 4th, they close the restaurant and host an old-fashioned Independence Day celebration, in combination with celebrating the wedding anniversary of Art and Birdine Lacey.
There is a semi-circle of small vintage motel rooms at the back of the complex, which were in use on the day of the car show. I don't know if they are normally open and available to stay in, or were just open for the day of the show. [Daniel L. Jones, 08/04/2008]
There is also a restaurant on the property, which has great old WWII photographs and artwork displayed. [Ann Wilmoth, 03/12/2008]
Milwaukie, Oregon - Bomber Gas Complex - Wings of Freedom There are other things to see at the Bomber Complex. There is a 30+ foot totem pole behind the restaurant, and a "Wings of Freedom Interpretive Center" on the grounds as well. The museum has the restored nose cone of the plane and other memorabilia from WWII. [Jody Day, 03/24/2007]
