I worked the flight line at UND for over a year, we saw plenty of the flight team and had a few chuckles at their expense.

Here's the basic UND taxonomy: at UND, the aviation students were always looked at as the biggest dorks and/or spoiled rich kids. Within the aviation department, everyone looked at the flight team as the biggest dorks and/or spoiled rich kids. I had friends who competed in NIFA for other schools, and they told me that within NIFA, UND's flight team was looked at as the biggest dorks and/or spoiled rich kids.

They did take themselves pretty seriously. Couldn't have had a better mentor than Skrammy...
