Did You Know?

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.
The museum thrives on the dedication of its staff and over 40 volunteers, many of whom are veterans or aviation enthusiasts.

“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.

Outside of camps, visitors can enjoy flight simulator sessions, drone experiences, and interactive history nights, providing learning opportunities that go beyond the classroom.
