Minnesota Flyer

Minnesota Flyer For 60 years, the Minnesota Flyer, a monthly magazine, has been the voice of the aviation community throughout the Upper Midwest.

The Minnesota Flyer originally was the newsletter of the Minnesota Aviation Trades Association. First published in January 1960, the Flyer was edited by Sherm Booen, who was well-known to Minnesota aviators through his television program, "World of Aviation," which ran for nearly 26 years on WCCO-TV in Minneapolis. The publication was purchased in 1988 by Richard A. Coffey, an aviation writer and

editor living in east-central Minnesota. In October 2002, the Minnesota Flyer was purchased by Tim Franklin, a longtime Minnesota newspaper publisher and pilot. In June 2019, Northstar Media, Inc., owned by father and son Gene and Carter Johnson of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, purchased the Minnesota Flyer. Today the magazine is supported by the advertising of regional aviation businesses. Throughout its history, the Minnesota Flyer has been the voice of the aviation community throughout the Upper Midwest. The monthly magazine features an extensive calendar of fly-in breakfasts and events, aviation news, aeromedical issues, columns by aviation personalities and profiles of people and the airplanes that they fly. The popular Mystery Airplane Contest lets readers test their knowledge of aviation history each month, and the Minnesota Office of Aeronautics contributes technical articles on a regular basis. The publication is also a great source to find out more about aviation businesses throughout the Midwest.

As the Long Lake resident fired up the propeller and brought the plane onto a grass runway, the airplane lifted into the air so quickly that it almost felt like a helicopter take-off.
