I was in Williston this afternoon. Did you see me wave? I am 100 miles virtually straight north of Williston. I use the little airport in Williston quite often to fly in the US.The last flight I was on, was to Denver, and other than myself, the entire plane was Mexicans and I hardly heard a word of English on the entire flight. I was beginning to wonder if I was on the wrong flight. They were all returning to Texas for a few days off from the oil patch. It amazes me that a town that size can have 7 flights a day to Denver. Another example of the perks a healthy oil patch can bring to a small community.
