Leg 13 - Minneapolis to Fargo, ND


Hmm, hell of a queue....


Lining up for takeoff. Hopefully I'm next!


Waiting for the green light...



Away and gear up


Leaving Minneapolis behind, heading out across the icy wasteland...


Looks cold down there..




Weather is improving nicely. We're on a VFR plan all the way.


Turning over Fergus Falls VOR.


The final navigation waypoint; inbound on descent to Fargo (Note the GPS).




This is one of my favorite shots. Turning downwind for RWY17 at Fargo.
Looks like a nice town.


Turning Base


Short Final RWY17, Fargo.


Parked on the GA apron at Fargo in cool, sunny weather.


Next morning, out to the aircraft to check things over and refuel.


At the bowser.


View from the left seat whilst sitting at the bowser.


Back on the GA ramp, waiting for a sunny day!
