Just so you know, a friend of ours work out of Wiliston and it is in the middle of North Dakota's oil boom. He's right next to the airport and says that it is really busy all the time. Don't know if you will get delayed because of that or not, just a thought. Clint

Planning customs at Sweetgrass
 
Marc,

We are planning Sweetgrass, anyone with intel of that crossing would be appreciated. (Thanks Clint for the heads up).

Super busy in WIlliston, not sure of airport or customs, there's always MOT - Minot, ND 100 or so East - busy airport w/ airlines now but don't think customs is too bad. It does have a tower. We're planning on heading down but won't be leaving until that Friday.

Why not Minot??? Freezin's the reason!!!:D

Flew over sweetgrass on the way to Homecoming last year......looked good from 8ooo ft....:) We went to Cutbank which was a nothing burger (in and out in about an hour)... and might be on your way as well ??

A friend (the other -4) went through KISN a few weeks a go and did not mention any delays....

We cleared at Williston this year on the way to Osh. Busy, but no problems - best customs agent ever! Have also cleared at Cutbank and had to sit in the plane for almost 2 hr. before the CSB showed up. I had given them 22 hr. notice and I think they forgot until I phoned. Heard that Sweetgrass is rough - others here might know better.

Greatfalls.
 
I have always used Great falls. Super quick turn around everytime. I like that as it is usually the first stop of a long day of flying.
