Decided to take a little trip last weekend to my dad's cabin in Canada so I decided to fly to International Falls, MN. Since I just got my IFR I though I should file just to keep comfortable in the system. While I was at it, I realized I've never been in Minneapolis air space. Long story short, I filed KFOD MKT FCM GEP GPZ KINL. Low and behold I got cleared as filed! The best part was when I got to Minneapolis, the controller asked if I'd like vectors to see downtown! Heck yeah, lets go. So, on my FIRST ever IFR flight by myself, I got my FIRST Class Bravo, a tour of Minneapolis and even a little actual!!! By far my best flight ever. For those of you considering your IFR, GET IT!!! It makes flying so much easier.MSP.jpg
 
Stationed on the Left coast, recently flew to Chicago via Minneapolis. The Minneapolis Center guys were great, very friendly and helpful. Classic "Minnesota nice".
