A lot of the missile silos are now empty in ND and Minot is a distance from Grand Forks.<p>&gt; The weather is so extreme that it often manages to simulate the north pole and other tundra. If that&#x27;s your aim, then it&#x27;s a goldmine.<p>Oh come on, we&#x27;ve actually had better weather than SD and MN for the last couple of years.  Its not that horrible, it just has horrible moments.  Poor people can get their car too and fro, so its not that bad.<p>&gt; Example ....<p>That&#x27;s from 2012 and for Devils Lake, ND.  The range is pretty small and they were talking about the firing range.  Heck the same document tells of scheduling with local crop dusters.  I work 10 miles from there and the local airport is within 8 miles of the place.  Mostly they are doing construction training and now a bit of drones themselves.
