I think more than anything else, the best part about flying is picking out a rural airport on the sectional map, and then flying there just to see who's there. So this evening I flew to Boyceville, WI., (3T3) about 45 air miles from South St. Paul. It was a beautiful evening for a flight, and I picked up Mpls Approach on the way to help navigate around parachutists in Baldwin.
When I got to the point where I could see the runway, I didn't much hope for any great discovery. No terminal, no taxiway, everything quiet like western Wisconsin tends to be when the sun is going down.
But looks are deceiving, especially when there's someone in an airplane heading for the same spot you are.
