A Douglas C-47 'Skytrain' pulled by the 'Fighting Sioux' Football team.
UND 2002 Football Team: #42 Ross Brennan, #63 OL Ryan Grant, #59 LB Jake Nordick, #66 DL Mike Gruchalla, #55 LB Tom Irvin, #35 LB Matt Nelson, #94 DL Lee Smith, #86, #93, #56 LB Brian Lynch, #43, #69 OL Tyler Storhaug, #75 Brian Dokken and other numbers I can't make out.
Sandi Roland, Wahpeton, came to see her son, Adam, in action. Not flying, but pulling. #5 RB Adam Roland, a member of the UND football team, was part of the airplane pull. The football team actually pulled a C-47 aircraft in a test of strength against other muscular types.
"I think it's great. The weather turned out good. They did a great job of organizing it," Sandi Roland said. -The Forum
