Flaps? Check. Fuel level? Check. Oil level? Check. Propeller? Check.

After a lengthy pre-flight safety inspection process, an aircraft is deemed “airworthy.”

And so is Kris Frost, a sophomore in Aviation/Professional Flight Management at the Auburn University College of Business. He is one of roughly 100 students involved in the program – the second-oldest such program in the nation.

“Flying isn’t scary for me,” said Frost, just moments before preparing Wednesday afternoon for a 90-minute flight from Auburn University Regional Airport. “But I am afraid of heights. You just don’t feel like you’re up in the air up there.”

Hope he can fly around the field, crash in to, and burn some opposing ball carriers.

If he's smart enough to fly a plane, then he should be smart enough to understand defensive calls.

If he can dodge a wrench he can dodge a ball.
