I'm leaving Bismarck ND for Fargo.  KFAR is calling for light rain but lower clouds.  I initially depart sunny BIS and cruise at 7500 ft.  I'm getting over 3 miles a minute and sipping 100LL.  Eventually I decide to descend to 3500 VFR below the clouds.  As I approach Fargo I pickup an IFR clearance with Minneapolis Center, they "ship" me to Fargo approach control, and I shoot the RNAV RY 9 to just above minimums.

This is the freeware RV7 (the author is working on a RV7A) - perf numbers are a little better but on the fast side (fine with me hehe).  He does appear to constantly update the plane.  There's also a paintkit and Blender file.  Every freeware has a few niggles but I recommend this one as it can use the WT G1000 Nxi.

I tend to see North Dakota as a beautiful place with buttes on the western half, rolling hills in the middle, and America's Heartland on the east side.

Jamestown, ND (KJMS) just ahead of my nose.  It's where I landed for my first solo cross country (I was supposed to fly back to Grand Forks (KGFK) but I had to pee so bad haha!)
