McMinnville Municipal Airport
McMinnville Municipal Airport is three miles southeast of McMinnville, in Yamhill County, Oregon.

It is across Oregon Route 18 from the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, home to the Hughes H-4 Hercules Spruce Goose flying boat. Many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this airport is MMV according to the FAA and has no IATA code. West Coast Airlines Douglas DC-3s served McMinnville for several years commencing in 1947.
