Plane Pull raises money for Make-A-Wish

By General Aviation News Staff · October 9, 2025 ·

Overland Aviation, an FBO at Williston Basin International Airport (KXWA) in North Dakota, recently hosted its inaugural Plane Pull.

Working in partnership with the airport, Sun Country Airlines, and Make-A-Wish North Dakota, the event raised $20,000 for Make-A-Wish.

The Aug. 16, 2025 event kicked off with the first-ever plane pull in Williston, where six teams competed to pull a Boeing 737 flown by Sun Country Airlines 100 feet across the tarmac.

Next was a fly-in movie, “Planes,” in the FBO’s hangar, along with live entertainment, family activities, and treats, according to FBO officials.

“This event was a true example of our aviation community coming together for a cause bigger than ourselves,” said Tanner Overland, president and founder of Overland Aviation. “We’re grateful to work alongside Williston Basin International Airport, Make-A-Wish North Dakota, and Sun Country Airlines to raise funds and awareness for this life-changing mission.”
