Excerpt from UND's June 2006 President's Desk Newsletter

The UND Flying Team triumphed in the National Collegiate Flying Association's (NIFA) Safety and Flight Evaluation Conference (SAFECON) which was held on May 8-13 at the Ohio State University in Columbus. UND competed against the top 29 flying teams from 11 regions around the country and took first place with a score of 366. Embry-Riddle Prescott placed second with a score of 336, Western Michigan University placed third with a score of 277, and the Air Force Academy took fourth place with a score of 212.

"I couldn't be more proud of this team," said Jim Higgins, head coach and faculty adviser of the UND Flying Team. The UND Flying Team is a member of the NIAF, the sanctioning body for the regional and national SAFECON competitions. SAFECON places a special emphasis on safety of flight operations. The competition consists of 11 events, four flying events and seven ground events, which test a variety of piloting skills.
