With a background in aviation, journalism and education, Dave and Peggy Weiman founded Wisconsin Flyer magazine in 1978, renamed the publication Midwest Flyer Magazine in 1980, and expanded the area served from one to 12 Midwestern states including Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. Midwest Flyer Magazine has grown from 12 black and white pages in 1978, to as many as 78 color pages today — more than six times its original size, thanks to a strong advertiser base and digital format!

Midwest Flyer Magazine has many contributing writers and photographers who share the Weimans’ passion for flight. It is this combined effort which has made Midwest Flyer Magazine an award-winning publication.
