Thanks for the video. I believe Bismarck’s airport is even smaller!

@@davidrp6361 I think so. And then there is Grand Forks which is even smaller than that.

As someone who lives in Fargo, ND (also used to live across the river in Moorhead, MN)… I am familiar with Fargo’s Hector International Airport. Most times I’m going from Fargo to Las Vegas. The most recent flight out of the airport was the Christmas week of 2023… went from Fargo to Arizona to Las Vegas and then road-tripped to Cedar City, Utah where my grandparents on my Mom’s side lives. Actually came back home hours ago from a road trip out there! Not entirely sure what the 2024 holiday travel will look like, but I can confirm that you are correct. They are expanding Fargo Hector International Airport… they actually started construction not that long ago (in July) and it should be completed sometime in 2027 (assuming the weather doesn’t screw anything up)

This may be Fargo's shortest flight, because MSP happens to be the shortest route for both DSM (Delta) and OMA (Delta, Sun Country) as far as medium-hub airports go. Anyway, here's to more throwing shade at United in 2024!!! HAHAHA - Red

[@K4Ediamond]

It is! And it probably a very similar route to both of those. And yep, here’s to shading United 2024!!! (unless they finally give me earbuds 👀)

[@Elias_NLSN]

My man just can’t get enough of Minnesota lol

[@K4Ediamond]

Oh I never will 😅

[@Zayedairportisbig]

United will be sending A319s to Fargo from Denver starting May 23 2024.

[@K4Ediamond]

Oh cool, I didn't know that

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ-knp9-j61lfMk The FOPP noise this plane made was the scariest ever! Was the same one you're flying N352NB

[@PacView534]

Voice over is terrible. It makes this video unwatchable.

[@K4Ediamond]

Well what’s wrong with it?

[@PacView534]

@@K4Ediamond It is too mechanical. Sounds artificial. Stops and starts a lot. Does not sounds natural.
