Airport Opened -- And, Yes, As Posted -- A Delay In First Arrival -- October 11, 2019

Link over at The Williston Herald. This is almost as exciting as the first discovery oil well in North Dakota in 1951 -- and ironically, coincidentally -- the events are obviously related: the first oil well in 1951 and the new international airport in 2019. Sixty-eight years. Headlines and highlights:
  • In a serendipitous twist of fate, a delay actually added to the story of the airport
  • 4,000 tour the airport; dedication ceremony, more
  • photos at this site
  • United Airlines scheduled to be first land; I believe Delta got the bragging rights
  • first time in 24 years that one US airport closed the same day its "replacement" airport opened; the airport 24 years ago? Denver International Airport
