Originally known as Madras Army Air Field, this was a World War II Army Air Corps training base for B-17 Flying Fortress and Bell P-63 Kingcobras. In 2000, the airport began hosting the annual Airshow of the Cascades.[3] The Erickson Aircraft Collection moved from the Tillamook Air Museum to the Madras Airport in 2014.[4] In mid-2015 the airport's north hangar, which was built during World War II, was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[5]
