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

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.

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...

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.
