I have been looking at the tasks that I think we would need to complete if we were to fly with UND in 2025.
For our meeting this Thursday I would like to answer 2 questions:
1. Are there any other tasks that should be on this list? 2. Do we have the manpower/interest is completing these tasks for UND?
