2005 Yearlong Region Nine Cross Country Contest Results

Below is a spreadsheet of the results of this past year’s cross-country contest. A complete article has been written and submitted to Hang Gliding magazine.

As can be seen below, the number of pilots submitting flights continues to decline. That said, there were a considerable number of entirely respectable flights flown all across the Region, and through many months of the year. Let us hope that this is a harbinger of better flying to come in 2006.
