Featured Exhibit
Prairie Aviation Museum recieved this F-14D Tomcat in April of 2006 from the US Navy. The final flight of this aircraft was to the Bloomington/Normal airport. People came from many states to witness the arrival of aircraft 205 from VF-213 Black Lions, for most it would be the last time they would see a F-14 in flight.
The Museum’s growth depends upon members willing to volunteer their time and energy to work projects. Although membership does not automatically bring a working commitment, there are opportunities to get involved in many areas of work and service, whatever your interests might be.
Our mission is to create a scientifically 
literate
population that can
thrive in a world increasingly driven by information and technology.
Our vision for the future is a global community where students command
their own destinies by developing skills in decision making, teamwork,
problem solving, and communication.
