Dane Fearneyhough earned top pilot honors when the Flying Salukis attended the National Intercollegiate Flying Association Region VIII championship. Fearneyhough, a senior in aviation management, scored 70 points, including first-place finishes in short field approach and landing and power off precision landing.
Paced by co-captain Fearneyhough, who was also the top scoring contestant, the Flying Salukis put six team members in the top nine slots to easily earn a sixth regional title in seven years. The finish marks the 44th time in 45 years that the eight-time national champion Flying Salukis will qualify for national competition.
