Hey KW, do you want to see some airplanes today.  Heck yeah tour guide.  Let me get my flying glasses.  KW, you do not have flying glasses.  Oh heck yeah I do, check them out.  KW, those are my glasses.  Oh well, can I borrow them if I get a chance to fly.  Sure KW,  you can use them if you get to fly.  OK, let's get going we are wasting daylight.  Can we go to the Air museum now.

Hey tour guide, what is Mrs. tour guide doing on that plane?  Is she allowed to do that.


Hey, are those your glasses tour guide? Yes KW, they are.  Mrs. tour guide wanted to look good in the seat.


Wow, look at Mrs. tour guide's biceps.


There is no way I'm getting in that small seat.

CJ, jump on and we will go for a ride.  You can ride.... Watch it KW.  KW, did you know this is a Harley-Davidson WLA produced to US Army specifications for use in WWII.  Over 60,000 were produced for war-time use.


The jeep legend began in November 1940, in the early days of WWII, just a year before the United States entered the war.  A small, four-wheel drive prototype, the Willys "Quad" was delivered to the US Army.  Willys produced over 300,000 MB vehicles.

Wing Walking:
Starting in airshows and barnstorming during the 1920's, wing walking is the act of moving on the wings of an airplane during flight.

KW, you have noticed it doesn't get dark till 21:45 here in Fargo, right?  Actually yes I did notice, I thought we were in Alaska where it says daylight for 22 hours a day.  Well KW, I just happen to know that depends on where in Alaska you live.  The farther north you go, the longer the day.  Just north of Fairbanks, the day is 24 hours long.  In Fairbanks, there are nearly 22 hours of daylight, about 19.5 hours in Anchorage and 18.2 hours in Juneau.  Well, tour guide aren't you a walking talking encyclopedia.

Beautiful sunset in Fargo at 21:35.
