Ex NIFA competitors?
 

Are there any ex NIFA competitors out there?

I was one of the officers that hosted the 2002 National Safecon at OSU
Then I went on to compete regionally and nationally during the 2002-2003 season

i competed in the ne region during the 03 and 04 season then my college cut the flight team, we were supposed to go to the nationals in 03 but the college didnt want to spend the money

Yeah I understand your pain with that. Some OSU Alumni donated a newly and beautifully painted C-150 to the OSU Flight Team to use as a competition airplane (I'm sure many of you saw "Buckeye 50" with it's bright red tail with Block O on it). OSU aviation administration has recently decided they are cutting all ties and support of the OSU flight team and will be selling the 150.

That's a shame to hear that OSU is cutting ties with the Flight Team. I competed with North Dakota from 97-00. I've been judging since then. Buckeye 50 was one of the better looking 150s out there, too bad to see it go.

Ive heard they are cracking down on performance enhancing steroids. I think the whole UND team was juicing it! ;)

PUFT member 2002-2005.

I remember from 2005 Nationals at K-State as being the l-o-n-g-e-s-t distance I've ever dragged a Warrior or 150. I also remember being part of a 3-ship flight who used the callsign "Toto", then preceded to get our asses chewed by Wally Funk.

I also remember 2003 Nationals at UND when SDSU had "Radio Biach" on the side of their 150 and got reprimanded for it.

NIFA was good times...

UND 2005-2007. Miss it already, wish I could be at regionals in STC this year.

You guys should start flight teams at your various regionals using RJs ?

Dude. The fact that this is an aviation web board does NOT make it ok to admit to being on the Flight Team.

Why not? Does being on a flight team give you a bad reputation? I was told that schools with flight teams have competitive tryouts and only the best of the best make the team.
