Aviation The 2012-2013 Flight Competition Season was a major success for the San Diego Christian College Flight Team. SDCC Hawks placed second in the Region II competition hosted by San Jose State University in Salinas CA in January. This is an unprecedented accomplishment for the team as it has struggled for years to bridge the gap with the current reigning national champion - Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University -Prescott. With a talented team and the guidance of our amazing coaches, the team was able to achieve the highest standing in school history. As a result, SDCC earned its 5th bid in a row to the National Championships in May at The Ohio State University in Columbus Ohio. The Flight Team’s goal to show Christ in our personal relationships with our secular competitors at Regionals was recognized, with the team winning the Red Baron Sportsmanship Award. It was an honor for our team, as it was a testament to their positive Christian impact on the best collegiate aviators in the nation. Flight Team Leadership and Coaches would like to congratulate the following pilots for their exceptional performance in the Region II Competition. Congratulations to Jenna Sims for receiving the Top Female Pilot Award. Jenna was also awarded Top Female Safety Pilot for the second time.
