The team has finished flying all three rounds of the MAC80 competition. Results coming soon!! You won’t want to miss it!

The team has made it to Seward, Nebraska for the first competition starting off their 2026 season!

Each team member had time to practice today up in the aerobatic box, and tomorrow they start competing!

Last week, the team had the opportunity to have dinner with President Armacost and Dean Kraus to celebrate their 2025 Collegiate National Aerobatic Champions title.

The team was awarded with engraved National Championship rings!

The UND Aerobatic team had their final pre-season practice yesterday in Grafton, ND.

On Wednesday, they will head to the first competition of the 2026 season in Seward, Nebraska. The MAC80 Aerobatic Championship will be the first of several exciting competitions this year!

Hope to see you at a practice or competition this season!

Andrew was a very active part of our team from attending Judge’s school, to practicing towards competing. His presence put a smile on everyone’s faces and his attitude was inspiring.

We wanted to extend the invitation that EAA put together to honor him this coming Sunday. We hope to see you there!

“Andrew Seneker was a dedicated and enthusiastic Young Eagles Coordinator for EAA Chapter 1342, known for his passion for inspiring future aviators. His impact on UND Aerospace and the Greater Grand Forks community was significant, and he will be remembered with deep appreciation.
In honor of Andrew’s commitment to aviation and community, EAA Chapter 1342 will host a memorial Pancake Breakfast open to all. Andrew loved participating in past breakfasts, and the chapter is proud to continue the tradition in his memory.”

Andrew’s family has also established a scholarship in his name for future UND students. All proceeds and donations from the breakfast will support this scholarship. While the breakfast is free to attend, contributions are welcome at the event or via
