Spotting in North Dakota

[KaiGywer]

In about a month, I'll be heading to North Dakota. I'll be staying in BIS and MOT, with a possible stopover in FAR, depending on what time of day I drive through. I might also drive up to Minot AFB for some shots.

Anybody know these airports and where I can get good shots?

Thanks

At FAR there is a viewing park right a long the runway that has a good place, albeit not much going on. NW has 8 daily flights so does UAX. GFK has some good spotting, lots of UND planes, FedEx and 4 daily NW. MOT has 3x NW, BIS is going to be busier with 5x daily NW, and 4x UAX.

What he said, and sometimes you can catch some interesting stuff in FAR. Last time I was there:

[photoid=5945939]

[photoid=5945606]

BIS and FAR also have Allegiant, except in FAR it doesn't come in until some god-awful late time.

Hopefully they will be flying around (and I won't get chased away by MPs)
