  • The museum first opened in 2001, originally focused on Warbirds before expanding to include experimental and agricultural aircraft.
  • In 2015, it added the Beck-Odegaard Wing and youth camp classrooms.
  • It’s home to one of the only full-motion flight simulators in the region.

“Our goal is to make aviation history accessible to everyone,” said Volunteer Education Coordinator Dave Mohn, who has been leading these programs for over a decade. “Through education and personal connections, we aim to inspire all who walk through our doors—whether it’s a young child on their first tour, a veteran at coffee hour, or a flight enthusiast.”

Programming

The Fargo Air Museum offers a wide range of educational programs aimed at youth and aviation enthusiasts. Their Youth Aviation Camps and STEAM Camps, running January through November, provide hands-on learning experiences that spark curiosity and interest in aviation careers. Each month features new themes, offering fresh ways for kids to engage and explore.
