Minnesota's Premier wwii aircraft MUSEUM

Visit the Museum

Welcome to the Commemorative Air Force Minnesota Wing


Picture
The Commemorative Air Force Minnesota Wing was formed in 1971. The Minnesota Wing was the very first charter unit of the national headquarters wing of the Commemorative Air Force and operated as a maintenance support arm to help the CAF’s mission and its ever growing fleet of rare aircraft.

The Commemorative Air Force was founded to acquire, restore and preserve in flying condition a complete collection of combat aircraft which were flown by all military services of the United States, and selected aircraft of other nations, for the education and enjoyment of present and future generations of Americans.

Today, the Commemorative Air Force Minnesota Wing is home to six aircraft, a large motor pool fleet, and a unique collection of World War II artifacts that are on display at Fleming Field in South Saint Paul, MN.

The Commemorative Air Force  Minnesota  Wing attends many airshows, parades, and other events throughout the year. We also host two hangar dances and several museum events at our facility, but we are much more than just a museum. 
Whether you volunteer, donate, attend an event, or take a history flight ride, your contributions help us continue to educate, restore, and honor.

Our B-25 Miss Mitchell Needs Your Help!

On Saturday, May 7, 2022, our maintenance team unfortunately discovered critical engine damage and have been working to repair it. Over the weekend, we discovered that the engine is not repairable by our maintenance team, but will require a full engine overhaul and will need to be sent back to the engine overhaul facility. 

It is with deep sadness that we will not be able to participate in the Raid Across South Dakota or the Ellsworth Airshow. Our volunteers have truly been looking forward to both events. We hope that the engine overhaul can be completed quickly so that we can prevent additional show cancellations this season. 

A B-25 engine overhaul can cost upwards of $65,000. We hope that it does not cost that much, but these historic aircraft are 80 years old and parts are not cheap. If you would like to contribute to our engine fund, please click here to help us get back in the air. 

We truly appreciate your support and understanding. 

Every dollar raised above and beyond the cost of the engine overhaul will go towards the B-25 and our museum to support our mission of education.
