In February, Metropolitan State University of Denver’s Aerobatics Team won the 2024 Collegiate National Aerobatic Championship, the fifth time the university has taken the top honor. An anonymous donor recently gifted the team a new top-of-the-line GameBird aerobatics plane. The team’s captain Vince Evans and coach Dagmar Kress showed off the new plane during a training flight at the Centennial Airport on Thursday, March 13, 2025.
