Golden Wings Flying Museum, Aviation museum in Blaine, Minnesota
The Golden Wings Flying Museum is an aviation museum in Blaine, Minnesota, displaying a collection of vintage and military aircraft from different eras of flight history. The collection also includes technical artifacts and documentation that trace the evolution of aviation.
The museum was founded in 1996 by Greg Herrick inside a former University of Minnesota hangar in Blaine. It was established to preserve historical aircraft for future generations.
The museum draws people who want to learn the stories behind individual aircraft and the pilots or owners who flew them. Visitors find personal connections woven into the history of each plane on display.
The museum is located on Airport Road NE and is easily accessible from Highway 10. Visitors should check opening hours ahead of time, as schedules may vary seasonally.
The museum played a role in creating the Herrick Amendment in 2012, which made historical aircraft blueprints publicly accessible. This legal change emerged from efforts to open technical documentation to researchers and enthusiasts.
