The Flying Bobcats
The Flying Bobcats is a group of undergraduate students who make up a competitive aviation precision flight team. They are members of the National Intercollegiate Flying Association (NIFA), competing in National Safety and Flight Evaluation Conferences each year. NIFA exists today as a forum for collegiate aviators to expand their studies and further their careers by participating in safe competitive and non-competitive events, networking with industry and contemporaries, and applying themselves to go above-and-beyond their ordinary curriculum. There are a variety of events in which pilots and non-pilots train and compete in. Being on the flight team offers amazing and rewarding experiences for anyone interested in the aviation industry.
