AirCorps had several employees participate in the 10th Annual United Way Trap Tournament! We had a lot of fun and it’s great to support our community!

Fifteen years ago, four partners came together to start AirCorps Aviation in Bemidji. Since then, our team has developed innovative processes that make it possible to take on some of the most complex warbird restoration and fabrication work in the country. We're proud of the people in our shop and grateful to the customers who trust us with these aircraft. Here's to the next 15. 🎉

Photos from the Restoration floor Friday! A look into the projects worked on over the Summer. You saw the completion of the P-51B Shillelaugh and L-4, and now we continue on a P-38 amongst other aircraft.

After two years in storage, this 1944 Stearman flew again and won 2 awards in Galesburg last week! 🏆⭐️ The owner, Shawn—the oldest Hokuf brother and an inspiration to all of the Hokuf brothers who entered and excelled in aviation—put a great deal of work into repairing the wing after ground-loop damage. Our shop completed the project by installing and rigging all of the wings, along with repairs to the tailwheel and main landing gear. The gray repaired wing was intentionally left in a WWII-inspired finish, reflecting the practical field repairs of the era, when a damaged wing could be replaced quickly with a serviceable component to return an aircraft to training service. It is great to see this important piece of aviation history returning to the air.

From the floor Friday when The Flying Bulls mechanics worked on the Red Bull P-38 for a week in the AirCorps hangar before flying to Oshkosh! It was fun getting to know this great team from Austria.

It's been a full 2 weeks since Airventure ended - are you missing it yet?! We had a great time with friends, customers, coworkers and of course seeing the 10,000+ airplanes together in one place! This year we partnered with The Flying Bulls and Dakota Territory Air Museum for a Customer Appreciation dinner, which was so amazing to visit with everyone we speak to over the phone. We held our annual Wrenching on Warbirds and spent the week sharing the restoration details of the Reserver Grand Champ P-51B Shillelaugh. See you next year at Oshkosh 2027!

Destination: EAA Airventure in Oshkosh. The Lineup: The Flying Bulls' P-38, The Dakota Territory Air Museum's P-51B, DTAM's P-47, DTAM's Harvard, Whitney Beck's F4U-4, and Ala Doble's F8F Bearcat.
The coolest people, surrounded by the coolest airplanes, all at one small airport in Bemidji, Minnesota.
The Flying Bulls chose AirCorps Aviation as their stop for routine maintenance on the P-38's journey from Salzburg, Austria — and we got a full week with their mechanics and pilot before the rest of the gang rolled in to make the trek to Oshkosh together.
After the airshow week ended, Red Bull 's DC-6B swung back through Bemidji and gave our whole team a day we won't forget.
