Attendees at the Williston airshow Saturday had a rare chance to enter, touch the controls and take photos inside of the North Dakota National Guard's Sikorsky Black Hawk UH-60 helicopter. The helicopter was a huge attraction with hundreds partaking in the experience (photo by Roger Riveland).

The plane was being flown by pilot Jerrod Lindemann of North Valley Aircraft. The Lindemann's fully restored the plane, an endeavor which took 11 months of hard work (photo by Roger Riveland).
