museum airpark - indoor exhibits - outdoor exhibits

airpark

The Museum Airpark currently displays about 20 different aircraft within easy walking distance. You can not miss the aircraft exhibits, as they are located immediately outside the museum building. You will find fighters, transports, trainers and helicopters.

indoor exhibits

We have several exhibits in Center Section of the Alert Hangar and in the North Bay. Because of 9/11 and the on and off eviction for security purposes we are limited on the exhibits we would like to have for the public to see. This is one of the reasons it is necessary for the museum to relocate to an area more accessible for the public.

Here are a few of our current exhibits. Enjoy!

outdoor exhibits

Air Park

The Minnesota Air Museum currently has 22 aircraft in its collection plus a 3/4 scale Submarine Spitfire. This probably one of the larger collections in the upper Midwest. It is a relatively complete representation of post WWII jet aircraft. It has every type aircraft flown by the 133rd AW and the 148th FW or the Minnesota Air National Guard. Most of the aircraft are the property of the National Museum of the USAF on loan to the 133rd AW who is responsible for their maintenance and up keep. The Minnesota Air National Guard Historical Foundation owns some of the aircraft on display.
