The Spirit of St. Louis model has arrived at the Wings of the North Air Museum. This model, built as a stage prop by Warner Brothers Studios for the movie starring Jimmy Stewart in the ’50’s, used to hang in the south end of the ticketing area of Terminal 1 at MSP and was mothballed after a remodel of the terminal.

We were given permission to display it in an arrangement with the Metropolitan Airports Commission. It was loaded it in a truck and brought it to the WOTN museum yesterday. We are putting it together and getting it spruced up.
