A few days ago, departing Minot North Dakota for Duluth in a Skylane, I asked ATC if the NOTAM for military training at Duluth had the airport closed, or whether it was open to GA traffic. He asked me to stand by for a minute, and then said, “It’s closed at the moment, but will reopen in 30 minutes, so unless you are doing Mach 3, you should have no problem.”

Key Takeaways:
- A pilot flying to Duluth inquired with ATC about the airport's status due to a military training NOTAM.
- ATC confirmed the airport was temporarily closed but would reopen in 30 minutes, humorously assuring the pilot it wouldn't cause a delay.
