SkyBroncos Precision Flight Team
The SkyBroncos Precision Flight Team represents the WMU College of Aviation by competing in regional and national Safety and Flight Evaluation Conferences(SAFECONs). SkyBroncos was founded as a student organization at WMU in 1946 as a flying club and competed in their first NIFA SAFECON in 1947 winning the National Championship. Today the organization no longer operates a flying club, but our dedicated students still carry on the proud competitive tradition of the SkyBroncos at home and across the nation.
The National Intercollegiate Flying Association exists today as a forum for collegiate aviators to expand their studies and further their careers by participating in competitive and non-competitive events, networking with industry and contemporaries, and applying themselves to go above-and-beyond their ordinary curriculum. The team participates in ground events including, Situational Comprehension Aircraft Navigation (SCAN), Aircraft Recognition, E6B Flight Computations, in addition to a plethora of flight events.
