| Bob Jasperson , Minnesota | The Planes of Fame museum closed in 1997! A new museum call the Wings of the North Air Museum opened in 2015 at the same location. They have many great displays and three perfectly restored WWII airplane that have all won awards at the Oshkosh show. See www.wotn.org. 01/11/2016 @ 16:15 [ref: 55831] |

| Chris Burnsville, Minnesota | WARNING -THE MINNESOTA MUSEUM IS NO LONGER IN OPERATION!!! This now-defunct museum once housed the warbird collection of the founder of Tennant Co., a MN -based manufacturer. Sadly, all of the WWII planes from the Flying Cloud Airport were moved to a sister facility in Palm Springs, CA in 2000. They are part of a fantastic museum at the far end of the airport, filled with airworthy WWII relics, all well preserved in the desert air. 09/01/2012 @ 11:26 [ref: 55198] |
| TeresaC , Virginia | While in Minneapolis recently, my sister and I tried to visit this museum. It appears to be gone and no one in the area or on the field could tell us where to find it. The phone number is out of service. Just FYI 07/21/2012 @ 15:20 [ref: 51031] |
