    Sting Precision Flight Team

    If you are a top aeronautical science student, you could be a member of LETU’s “Sting” Precision Flight Team. This group of students competes against students from other college aviation programs in the National Intercollegiate Flying Association (NIFA) competitions. While many of the competition events involve flying or pilot skills, several of the competition events are open to students who are not pursuing flight training.
