24 April KMSP, the morning rush

[JDANDO]

Spring is here in the Great White North and there is enough daylight to get the morning rush. The cargo dogs need some love, plus they are 100% more interesting than all the Delta regional jets that have proliferated here!

7. And one non-cargo, just because it is special. Apparently a US Army plane? Anyone have additional insight into it?
