Senator Hoeven will mark the return of UND’s Army Flight Training program, which the university originally operated for 30 years, until its funding ceased in 2010. Hoeven secured $4 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 for the Army to again use flight schools like UND to train ROTC helicopter pilots, which comes as part of his efforts to alleviate the nation’s pilot shortage.
