The Golden Wings Flying Museum was an aviation museum located in Blaine, Minnesota.

History

The museum was founded in 1996 by Greg Herrick in a former University of Minnesota hangar.[2][a]

In 1997, Herrick began a campaign to force the Federal Aviation Administration to make the blueprints of historic aircraft available to the public. This led to a lawsuit in 1999 that eventually resulted in the "Herrick Amendment" being passed as part of the FAA Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act in 2012.[4][5][6][b]

Herrick organized a re-creation of the National Air Tour in 2003.[7] Five of his aircraft took part.[8]

The collection was put up for sale in 2015.[9][10]
