World XContest 2024 [polski]
A new Hungarian record!
It could be even longer if Hungarian authorities would allow free in-flight border crossing within Schengen area...🙌
Maxime Pinot and Jonathan Marin - Paragliding Pilot have done an excellent record-breaking job in France today!
The very end of Maxime's flight was watched by 942 live followers on XContest livetracking, which is by far a record-breaking value as well!
6 pilots in total made it to the same place, amazing team coperation!
The first real "hammertag" has come to the Alps. Finally!
We have seen first 200km+ FAI triangles of the spring season.
The number of flights in Saturday's daily score is currently on a good path to all-time record value (4557 flights just now; 4944 is the record).
The spring season has started explosively in the Himalayas!
You can safely ignore AVG/Avast "phishing threat" connected with various content on domain s.xcontest.app while visiting xcontest.org (or you can report here https://www.avg.com/en-ww/report-false-positive#pc ).
A sidenote: There is a good enough antivirus/firewall protection build into Windows OS for many years, standalone software doesn't bring any substantial benefit (and sometimes only problems).
