I will have to go with Boiler on this one! I was in the same region with UND (95-98 - Ya....I am getting pretty old!) and they looked like they had anything but fun! Then again we were the ones not having fun at the awards banquet when all we heard was:
1st Place - UND
2nd place - UND
3rd Place - UND
4th Place - UND
5th Place - UND
The only problem I had with them was they were pretty anti-social before, during, and after the competitions which gave everyone this impression!

I think they just put three pieces of paper in a hat (UND, ERAU, West.Mich.) and draw for 1st-3rd!! 
Went to three of our regionals and Nat's @ MTSU and K-State... had a blast! I was supposed to help judge for our region (IV) this year but had to work. Definitely miss it.

I was on WMU's flight team for one year. It was a lot of fun, but I decided to not return because I enjoy actually having some free time to be with my girlfriend, go fishing, go away for the weekend, or just to read a book that wasn't produced by ASA, Jeppesen, or the FAA.

I was on Western's team from 96-00. I owe everything aviation related to that team and the people I've met along the way. It was a great time in my life, and we actually won the national championship in 98. A huge time commitment, but one that I felt was well worth it.
Western paid for all of our travel, flight time, food, lodging, and flight team supplies (jackets, hats, shirts, FAR/AIM, etc). We also received championship rings from our university president after we won. It was really cool.
