| Ohio Air Force Reserve sending mission of mercy to North Dakota |
| 2009-07-05 |
| Huge gray military airplanes flying as low as 100 feet from the ground sprayed Minot and, for the first time, Williston to kill mosquito larvae this spring. Another mission aimed at adult mosquitoes, which can carry diseases such as West Nile virus, is planned for later this month. The Air Force’s aerial spray unit based at Youngstown Air Reserve Station in Vienna, Ohio, has found North Dakota an ideal place for practice because of its large mosquito population, said its chief entomologist, Mark Breidenbaugh. “North Dakota is probably a lifetime customer,” he said. Not many states have to call in air strikes from other states. |
