Callsign, "Toto." Was that Riddle's 152?

Purdue used "Toto" while arriving in Salina at 2005 Nationals.

I was on the LA Tech flight team from 2003-07. A great way to get free flight time, meet aviation people, and get some time off from school. ;)
Someone mentioned Wally Funk...she almost ran a competitor over with a golf cart one year.

Absolutely love the team atmosphere and good times had by all...and what's wrong with learning more about the things hardly (or never) used in aviation!? *cough cough* E6b... I always thought those E6B questions were hilarious and retarded... "While cruising along at FL 350, you start to wonder what the drag coefficient of your airplane is. So you ask your captain, and he tells you that the OAT is -20 and your TAS is 758. Knowing your OAT always reads 7 degrees high and you have your dog and 79 suitcases (weighing 97 kg each) in the back at station 894 (with a CG of 79645 mm), what is your total weight in cases of oil?" :-) |

Joke by Auburn since Embry was the only one who brought a 152 to the competition

Just speculation here, but I would assume that'd be K-State

My favorite nationals that I've been to (other than the one that I was an officer at in 2002) was UND '03 and Salina '05

If I understand correctly, Wally's health has deteriorated over the past few years. I think I may have heard that she is now confined to a wheelchair. But I have only heard this thru the grapevine

The Wally Funk Stick.

If anyone knew Lacy Watkins on the OSU flight team, she had a bit of a recreation of "the stick" |
Any latest and greatest from anyone?

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... :D |
