Mission Statement
to preserve our community's deep aviation history, and to educate our community with this history and knowledge of aviation and aerospace.
Description
Duluth’s aviation history is significant. Pioneering aviators set forth a flight plan bringing Duluthians from the Wright Flyer through to modern day aviation. Preserving this rich history, protecting the archives, and presenting the chronology and the findings are invaluable and irreplaceable.
In collaboration with the Duluth School District, the Duluth Aviation Institute is providing in-class STEM education for sixth graders. The Path to Aviation lessons provide an opportunity for students to have a real world educational experience designed to inspire student interest in science, technology, engineering, and math. In an effort to improve test scores, we creatively teach these subjects as used in aviation.
