North Dakota Wing Aircrew took digital pictures for Wahpeton city officials today. The pictures show downtown Breckenridge MN and Wahpeton ND. The towns only have one bridge that connects them and that bridge is threatened by the Red River. The Red River flows from South to North and is heading to Fargo North Dakota.

The Red River near Wahpeton is forecasted to crest today.

The pictures were taken by Col Karl Altenburg. The Aircrew was Lt Col John Steiner, Maj Chad Smith and the photographer was Col Karl Altenburg our Wing Commander.
