Ben works as a Flight Line Service Technician with the UND Aerospace department. His main job: to ensure each aircraft is ready for flight. "It's not just pilots who run the show," Lunstrum said. "It's about the people behind the scenes." UND boasts one of the largest fleets of aircraft in the world. With hundreds of airplanes making thousands of flights per week, it takes a large support staff to make things work. Truckloads of aviation-grade fuel as well as gallons of de-icing fluid and hundreds of quarts of oil have to be delivered to each airplane each day.
