Wings of The North

Wings of The North Dedicated to preserving aviation history. Wings of the North is a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization founded in February of 1998.
(1)

Our mission is to preserve and present aviation history. We arose from the vacuum created when Planes of Fame East Museum's aircraft relocated to California and the museum was closed for good. In its wake, several volunteers chose to ignore this setback and form a new museum. In less than six months, the group coordinated Mustang Roundup ‘98, a major flying event. Long term goals include plans for

a major, world class museum and educational facility in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. This will involve a tremendous amount of effort in fundraising, acquiring aircraft and memorabilia and creating displays and events for the public. Our first event was a gathering of P-51 Mustang fighters in May of 1998. Followed by Mustang Roundup '99 and AirExpo's in the years since 2000. The fall of 2009 we moved into our new offices at 14801 Pioneer Trail, Suite 200, Eden Prairie, Minnesota. In 2012, we purchased hangar 72D in Sierra Lane at Flying Cloud Airport where we operate Wings Restorations, the restoration arm of our group. In 2015, we began leasing space to operate our new museum which is adjacent to our offices. In August of 2016 we moved the museum to a new facility on the southeast corner of the airport near the end of runway 36 and the control tower. In September, 2023 we moved to a smaller hangar next door to our restoration hangar. Wings of the North is dedicated to presenting and preserving aviation history. To accomplish this mission we put on air displays, symposiums, school presentations, as well as many other programs. To keep our mission a reality, we need your help! We are looking for monetary donations, equipment donations (copy machines, office equipment, tools, and computers), an postage to keep our operation going. We are also looking for donations of aviation artifacts such as flyable aircraft of any type, restoration project aircraft, aviation memorabilia (military aviation uniforms, wings, maps, and photographs), and hangar space. REMEMBER: WINGS OF THE NORTH IS A REGISTERED 501 (C) (3) NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. DONATIONS MAY BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE ON YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES!

🎟 Tickets now available for purchase for AirFair on July 11th, 2026!

As with our previous airshairshow, years' AirFair will be located on the south side of Flying Cloud Airport (FCM).

There will be a few differences with previous shows, such as:

- A single day show, July 11, rain or shine ☔️
- Celebration of America's 250th Birthday! 🎂
- While there will be a wide variety of aircraft, there will likely be fewer planes in the air. ✈️
- Admission will be charged by car, rather than by person. Tickets will be sold online in advance (available now!)
