Aero-tek X-C Award

For the longest flight over 300km originating from Moriarty.

Kim Harmon X-C Award

For the maximum distance in a pilot's best six logged handicapped flights originating from Moriarty or any board-sanctioned excursion for a Gold-class pilot. (Meaning that the pilot is capable of flying gold distance, but perhaps still has not bothered to document it and actually get the badge!)

ASC X-C Award-Classic Class

Same as Kim Harmon but for a Silver-class pilot.

ASC Speed Trophy

For the fastest handicapped cross country speed (as calculated by the OLC) over a course of more than 300km. (Also known as the "I didn't start early enough or stay out late enough" award)

ASC X-C High OLC Point Award

For most points scored in the OLC contest for the season. This is a new ASC award in 2006. The trophy was donated by Mary Lattimore. Beware! Recipients typically can be in danger of loosing their savings or their jobs by the end of the season!
