Discover Aviation
Days '97
and
American Wings Air Museum's dedication
at
Anoka County Airport
North of Minneapolis, MN
The week-end of May 17-18th
was the culmination of a very ambitious project for Mike Langer and the volunteers of the American Wings Air Museum. With paint still drying
on the walls from a marathon session the night before, the dedication brought finality to
the many hours of preparation. The Mohawks and other planes will now have the protection
of the museum. Following are pictures of the planes and AWAM volunteers that worked long
hours getting things ready, and some of the visitors that appreciated the results.
