I constructed and updated this table as the contest progressed. Many thanks to Chapter 12 President, Mike Davis, for faxing the results to me on a daily basis. I apologize if any of the names are spelled incorrectly. The faxes had been sent and re-sent several times and were getting very hard to read. However, I wanted to bring the info to you as soon as possible so I retyped it. Also, for easy reading, I have highlighted the U.S Team members and our own Edan Shalev. I hope the small print is not a problem, but it was the only way I could include the aircraft type. Note the number of French pilots flying a German plane!
