Around the Hangar

Always the best place to see what is going on at the Minnesota Wing, this Around the Hangar post will be rather large indeed. I have a month an a half of photos to catch up on, and not nearly enough space to put them all! These are some highlights of the hard work going on at the Wing lately.

(Photos Thanks to Brian Strom)
