Regionals Day 3, 4 and 5

The regional competition is over for another year, and what an amazing time everyone had. 

Overall we had 2 no-fly days, 1 ridge day, some boomers and 1 blue day to finish things off and make life interesting for everyone. There were lots of landouts, no incidents or damage, and only 1 retrieve crew getting lost :)

Well done to the winners, here are the final results.
