BISMARCK, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The North Dakota Aviation Hall of Fame committee announces that Cynthia (Cindy) Schreiber-Beck has been selected as the 50th inductee into the prestigious Hall of Fame. This honor recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the growth, development, and promotion of aviation in North Dakota.
Cynthia (Cindy) Schreiber-Beck was born on December 13th, 1954, and grew up on a farm near Foxhome, Minnesota. After graduating from Campbell High School, she earned a degree in Speech and Language Pathology from Moorhead State University and served students primarily in Minnesota. However, aviation eventually became her focus.
In 1982, Cindy married Gerry Beck, and together they operated Tri-State Aviation in Wahpeton, North Dakota, at that time an aerial spraying and fixed based operation. Recognized as innovative, the company perfected and marketed the SuperBoom, built the first EPA approved taxi-through loading facility and in the 1990’s, transitioned into the fabrication of warbird parts that converted the shop into an internationally recognized warbird rebuilding and restoration facility. Cindy continued the company after Gerry’s death in 2007, and in 2017 successfully transitioned the company to new ownership, securing its legacy.
