Missoula Airport Sets All-Time Passenger Record in July

Just the other day, I spent eight hours at the Missoula Montana Airport. It was not by choice, and it was nothing the Airport did. Denver International Airport dealt with some nasty weather, grounding flights.

It would've been a lot worse had I not been at a lesser airport, so thanks for being great, MSO

I was far from the only person to fly in or out of MSO, as the venue just set a record for the number of travellers to come through.
