yo dude, lighten up, im just there to have a little fun...i got second probably out of sheer luck, i was just joking around when i said im out to improve that. actually, i study some, but its way to stressful to sit there for hours...i think it burns you out. just gotta go in there and enjoy it, seems like most people are in there to purposely inflict emotional distress on themselves. im there just to hang out with some of my friends in a small, cramped hotel room without alcohol for a week and going to burger king and applebees everyday.

oh yea, pulling pranks on Purdue is fun too

Hope ya'll U of I kids had fun with the Saran Wrap and Vaseline on your van up in UND. Not that I had anything to do with that or anything...

I was the Captain of the Purdue Flight Team this past year in Champaign, and I have halfway relinquished my role to flyer172r while I am on co-op. Placing Power-Offs (barely) and Aircraft Rec (5th). Shouldn't have any problem competing in Salina though (yay for being a last-semester senior!). My arse won't hurt quite as bad, as I plan on coming out in a Seneca or a Twinkie.

Former Vice Prez and Air Marshall of the Purdue Beta Chapter of AHP, and I helped get the chapter reorganized back in 2002 after a 5 or 6 year hiatis. Currently inactive but in good standing, because of said co-op.

...yeah, we're nerds and dorks, us AHP and Flight Team members. But I've made good friends, and gotten a decent chunk of my flight time subsidized by the university. That's hard to beat. Besides, we at Purdue are too concerned with playing Euchre or poker or practical jokes on each other to walk in lock-step like our colleagues at UND, ERAU and SIU. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Flight Teams??

Aren't you the guys who wear flight suits, kneeboards, and raybans?

and...don't you fly 172s? Try to swagger around like your an F-15 pilot?

yep, dorks------don't matter how hard you party.....dorks

 

[Nostromo]

The flight team... what a buncha dorks...

Talk about dorks, you've got a picture of yourself as the avatar and use the word 'stud' in your description. Look in the mirror!

Ignorant remarks aside, I'm lookin forward to Salina. This is my 4th year on the team and my 2nd as a captain with SIU. Region VIII rocks, right guys?

The only thing that's starting to wear on me is the amount of practice we put in: about 6 or 8 weeks of 4 days a week, 1.5-6 hours per day.

I must say, I know flight team won't get me that job. But I have learned a hell of a lot from it....about myself and my limits. People will knock it, but I've had a great 4 years, in and outside of the team.

See all of ya at SUK, I mean...KSU.

Anyone here from the SIU 2001 flight team when we put white shoe polish on your team vans tires and soaped the he11 out of your windows? Feel bad for the clown who had to go scrape that crap off. He was at it for a good hour. Too bad.

 

[DGdaPilot]

I'm guessin that was at nationals of 2001? Cause I was there for Regionals 2001 and don't remember that.....

 

[flyguy75000]

Yeah up at Grand Forks........that place is sweet. Oh, and if you know you're not in contention..there is a strip club in Emerson just across the border in Canada, hey. Oh, and I was kidding......GFK sucks a$$.
