This is just an FYI.
I've managed to enter all the data we collected about the a/c at competition to their respective team page, plus a little extra we've collected through email/forums. The Podium page is updated for the most part. I know I'm missing a couple of positions in the 45 and above listing.
In addition, I'd like to thank Kadir Burak Özer and Nick Anderson for correcting the mistypes/guesses I made while David Levy was listing off the results. This got me off my butt to go in and make a full university/team listing of the results in the news post below.
If you have any additional data, our would like to send in a >250 word summary to include on your teams' page, please fill my inbox ;).
Unfortunately, the pictures are not my domain... so, you might email Mike to get cracking on that.
By the way, I don't think this was ever mentioned on the front page, but all data we are putting up is going onto the team pages live this year.
So check back -- we'll be entering lots of data over the next few days, and all the team pages will be updating as we go.
The boat has sailed, and another DBF is in the books. Some fun facts:
There were 165 flight attempts, of which 50 were successful scoring flights. 47 teams completed tech inspection, out of 51 teams that showed up. With the only team that didn't get inspected being from Slovenia... only because DHL lost their box :(. Hopefully they'll have better luck next year. Now for the big number: 33 teams got scoring flights! That's just phenomenal, way to go contestants!

there are 5 minutes to go; but that hasn't stopped Virginia Tech from re-teching and trying to make it out to the flight line. Surprisingly, the queue hasn't been empty this afternoon, as of 4:30 the flight attempts for the day stood at 77.
