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?
