Tall Towers Aviation operator Tim “Toby” McPherson hosted an open house at the Fargo Air Museum on Wednesday, his second showing in as many years at the air museum. Prior to 2022, McPherson had hosted an open house at his hangar in Page, North Dakota, every spring since 1989.

The full-day event showcased various ag aircraft, including McPherson’s refurbished serial #1 Ag-Cat. For added exposure, Radio broadcaster Joel Heitkamp hosted his show at the museum from 8 to 11 a.m. News & Views with Joel Heitkamp airs locally during the 8 o’clock hour, while the last two hours from 9 to 11 a.m. reach seven states and three Canadian provinces.

The event included representatives from the wheat, corn, soybean, sugar beet and edible bean associations, chemical and seed reps, and members of the public, which was the main point of the event.

NAAA commends McPherson for promoting agricultural aviation in such a public manner. Way to go, Toby!
