For Aviation freshmen, sophomores and juniors:

WE NEED MORE TEAM MEMBERS !!! -- It takes some time and dedication – but if you are inclined and up for the challenge, won’t you think about out joining the team! The key to OU’s future excellence and championships in NIFA competition is our travel team development program which develops our future team members. All aviators who come out to practice are on the “OU Flying Sooner’s NIFA Flight Team,” from which each semester a “Travel Squad” is selected to represent OU at NIFA competitions.
 Teams from the University of Oklahoma Aviation will attend and demonstrate our excellence in the OU Flight Team to compete at National Intercollegiate Flying Association competitions.
Team membership is open to all University of Oklahoma students who meet the eligibility requirements, including flight instructors, pilots not majoring in aviation, and even student pilots*. Anyone interested in competing is welcome to practice with the team.
* Student pilots are not eligible for the official travel squad. |
