First flight to the newly-3D Minneapolis from my hometown of Nashville! I’ve done this route three times IRL, twice in the afternoon and once in the evening, with all three of those being the first leg of a longer journey to the West Coast, with the afternoon flights being BNA-MSP-LAX and the evening one being BNA-MSP-SFO. Ever since learning that MSP was coming in 3D to 24.3, I’ve been wanting to fly this route and yesterday I finally got around to it. Without further ado:
