Coming to Minnesota from Alaska or western Canada you want to stop and clear at Hector International KFAR in beautiful Fargo North Dakota. CBP just built a new building adjacent to the jet center, jet center has been refurbished to support all the new oil shale activity. Friendly and quick, especially for us Minnesotans if the hockey team "formerly known as the Fighting Sioux" has recently beaten the Gophers, Bulldogs, Huskies, Mavericks, or Beavers. I know the old countries are so big on soccer they think it is football but here hockey is what matters. Jet center has solid tech and reasonable fuel plus surprisingly good coffee and fresh sticky buns as big your head. If final destination is in the Minneapolis St Paul area then head for Holman field KSTP granted 14/32 is their longest at about 6500' but it is never high and seldom hot. They value biz jet activity or go to KMSP and get treated like you are a nuisance getting in the way of Delta's hub ops.
