Odegard was the founder of the University of North Dakota aerospace school that bears his name. The school started with a pair of donated aircraft and 12 students. It grew to become a respected aerospace education program.<\/p>\n

A native of Minot, Odegard learned to fly in high school. After he arrived at the University of North Dakota, he became convinced of the need to train a new generation of pilots.<\/p>\n
