First time I saw a real 109 was a Spanish one at the Tillamook Air Musuem in Oregon. Never realized how small those things were. Thought it was a kit plane when I first saw it. By the way the Tillamook museum is in an old blimp hangar, really cool. The Evergreen Museum in Oregon is also worth the visit. First time there, the wife and I walked in the space building first, saw the ticket prices and decided it was not worth it. Walked into the other building just to get a peek. I spent about two minutes standing in the lobby staring at a large plane in the back, till I realized "HOLY CRAP, THAT'S THE SPRUCE GOOSE!" We then payed the money and let me tell you, the rest of the visit was worth it.
