Minot Air Force Base will hold an open house on Saturday, June 14.
There will be no air show. More information about the open house will be announced.
Minot AFB is the only dual wing, nuclear-capable base in the nation. The 5th Bomb Wing has B-52H bombers and the 91st Missile Wing oversees the Minot missile field with its Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Tours of the base are available but requirements for a group must be met to be considered for a tour. Typically, only requests for groups and not individual tours are supported to maximize the units’ time and resources.
Requirements for a group tour include:
– Tour groups must be a minimum of 15 guests and a maximum of 40. Tours greater than 40 individuals will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
– Participants must be 12 years of age or older. Younger groups will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
– Tour requests must be submitted no later than 40 days prior to the requested tour date.
Tour request forms are available at www.minot.af.mil/Contact-Us/Comm-Rel/ and sent to the Public Affairs workflow which is noted on the page, v35bw.pa@us.af.mil.
