    The T-6 was an awesome plane, responsive, fast. And the pilot was really professional. This group does a great job restoring the planes and keeping them in flying condition. I'd recommend a tour at their museum at some point.

    We brought our Jeeps over to get photos with a couple of the old military planes. The people running the event were very pleasant to work with and our group had a wonderful time.

    Always in awe of the CAF-MN museum--WWII planes, powerful stories, and generous volunteers. This place is a hidden gem and would recommend it to anyone. They even let you climb into the cockpit of a WWII plane.

    An interesting place, full of history and folks who like to talk about their mission. Today, they're hosting a lunch for veterans, sponsored by the Indian Motorcycle Rally and St Paul Indian dealers. They ask for $5 donations, but it isn't required. It's all on one level and wheelchair accessible. There are bathrooms in the hangar.

  • 5/5 DrewKristin B. 5 years ago on Google
    Such a fantastic place to experience historic air force artifacts and actually ride on restored aircrafts! 100% volunteer run - all super educated and passionate about keeping history alive. We gifted a B-25 airplane ride to my Dad for his birthday and it was such a special outing for our family to experience. Also, the summer is kicked off with a Hangar Dance in June / they pull out al the stops with food trucks, live band, plan tours, etc. highly recommend.

    Awesome place, very authentically original to the WWII era. They host a hangar dance in both spring and fall which are fantastic. Also feature old planes from the war.

  • 5/5 Cdab 1. 3 years ago on Google
    Not a big musuem but it is enough . Very informative and interesting place . Loved reading about the history and seeing the planes/memorabilia as well. In the summer they will sell you a ride to ride in the vintage airplane/vintage parties in the summer for anyone looking to take a ride or have a 1940 themed party I haven't yet but I do plan to since it is a donation based musuem. I will like to see this survive for the next generation . Parking is slim so arrive early .
