ABOUT THE EVENT
We invite the community to join us on April 11, 2024 from 5PM - 8PM to Experience the Northland Aerospace in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.
Come in and discover the high-tech programs that Northland Aerospace has to offer! Our 86,000 square foot facility features a state-of-the-art hangar, housing over 20 aircraft including a DC-9 that was owned and donated by the Detroit Pistons NBA team! This is not your typical open house event. While we will have all the information you need about how to enroll into a Northland program, this open house event is really about the Northland Aerospace Experience. Prepare to launch yourself into a typical day for a Northland Aerospace student!
Whether you are a community member who's never seen the Aerospace campus, a high school student who’s interested in learning more about Northland's technical programs, or a Northland Alumni looking to revisit the 'good old days', this event has something for everyone! Join us and experience Northland Aerospace.
