Tillamook Blimp Hanger
September 2005 Filed in: Jobs
Frank Construction Company was awarded the contract
for the historic Tillamook Blimp Hanger restoration.
The project consists of fixing the wooden box beams
on the ceiling of the 192' hanger. The Tillamook
Blimp hanger was originally built in 1942 to serve as
a Naval Air Station for anti-submarine costal patrol
in Oregon and Washington costal areas. The Naval Air
station was decommission in 1948 and currently is a
air museum. The Tillamook Blimp Hanger is the largest
wooden structure in the world.
