After the open house that Tall Towers Aviation operator Tim “Toby” McPherson hosted at the Fargo (N.D.) Air Museum on National Ag Day, the ag planes on display at McPherson’s
event got a second showing two days later. On March 24, the local Soil
Conservation District held its annual Ladies Ag Night at the Fargo Air
Museum to celebrate women in agriculture. The women in attendance couldn’t miss the ag planes that remained on display, including McPherson’s
refurbished serial #1 Ag-Cat, an Air Tractor AT-402 from Airborne
Custom Spraying in Halstad, Minnesota, courtesy of operator Rob Aslesen,
and another Ag-Cat and a Piper Pawnee 150 spray plane on permanent
display.
“It was a beautiful venue,” guest speaker Sabrina Hornung told the Cass County Reporter about the museum’s setting for the Ladies Ag Night event.
The AT-402 left the museum on April 1, but McPherson’s
serial #1 Ag-Cat will remain at the Fargo Air Museum for the
foreseeable future. The next big event he plans to fly the serial #1
Ag-Cat to is EAA’s AirVenture
2022 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where NAAA will wrap up a full year of
events celebrating the aerial application industry’s 100th anniversary.
