K-State's Flight Team Headed To Nationals

Placed Third Overall In Regional Competition

Kansas State University's Flight Team is headed to NIFA's National SAFECON Competition after placing third overall at the Region VI competition in Norman, Oklahoma, October 18-24.

Other awards making their way back to the Salina campus include the Safety Award, Top Scoring Female Contestant and Top Female Pilot. The team placed fourth and sixth in the Top Scoring Male Contestant race and third, fourth and eleventh for the Top Pilot Award.
 
K-State pilots placed fourth and fifth in the SCAN event; sixth and seventh in Aircraft Preflight Inspection; fifth in the Ground Trainer event; fifth and tenth in Short-Field; and second, fourth, and sixth in Power-Off Landing. "The team was very consistent this year," said Tom Karcz, assistant professor of aviation and the team's sponsor. "Several top ten finishes gave us the points we needed to qualify for nationals. Their hard work, practice and effort paid off."

Karcz isn't the only one on campus singing the team's praises. "This flight team has really buckled down and stepped up to the task and they made us all proud," said Kurt Barnhart, head of K-State's aviation department.

K-State's Flight Team competed against teams from University of Nebraska - Omaha, University of Central Missouri, Parks College Of St. Louis University, Spartan College of Aeronautics, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma State University, and University of Oklahoma.
