As you are well aware, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been necessary to cancel most of the regular aviation events that everyone looks forward to each year.

Airport Days, 1995, Wold-Chamberlain Field (MSP International). Two of the most loved Minnesota aviation characters, Chuck Doyle and Sherm Booen sit for this picture at a vendor booth.

Typically, stories from those events help fill the pages of the Minnesota Flyer throughout the year.

We at the Minnesota Flyer want to continue to offer our readers stories and information on Minnesota based aviation news and happenings.

We believe this is the perfect time to introduce some fresh new column ideas and we appreciate your help in getting them off the ground.

We are currently adding some new columns to the Minnesota Flyer. Check out "Let's Get Technical" and "Aviation Photo of the Month" which are still in the works.

You can participate in these columns off the ground by sending in your questions, photos, stories, etc.

If you have a story or photo you would like to share, please send it to:verlena@mnflyer.com. We would be happy to consider it for a future issue of the Minnesota Flyer.
