Minneapolis, Minnesota
Anoka County-Blaine Airport, also known as Janes Field, is located in Blaine, Minnesota, north of the Twin Cities. In the "Airports" category, it is a key general aviation reliever airport known for its diverse mix of aircraft. Visitors should go to see vintage planes and experience the local aviation community.
The airport is home to the Golden Wings Flying Museum (check hours) and a variety of rare and experimental aircraft. It is the base for many flight schools and private pilots. The annual Discover Aviation Days event is a major draw.
Watch aircraft take off and land. Visit the Golden Wings Flying Museum to see a private collection of golden age aircraft (by appointment or special event). Take flight lessons or a discovery flight.
Weekends are active with recreational flying. The best time is during the Discover Aviation Days in late spring/early summer, when the airport opens up to the public with displays and activities.
The airport is a public facility, but access to hangars and the flight line is restricted. The Golden Wings Flying Museum has specific entry requirements. Parking is available.
There are Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) providing fuel and services. Restrooms and pilot lounges are available in the FBO buildings. There are no commercial airline terminals.
The airport is located near the National Sports Center. If you love aviation history, try to arrange a visit to the museum. It's a great spot for plane spotting from public viewing areas.
The National Sports Center, the world's largest amateur sports facility, is nearby. The TPC Twin Cities golf course is also in Blaine. Bunker Hills Regional Park is a short drive away.
