Let me start off with this number; 9,704. This
is the total amount of miles flown by Sweepstakes participants this year! HOLY
COW FOLKS!!! Now for some more numbers. There was
a total of 20 participants this year who accomplished this. For the first time
in Sweepstakes history, there will be an award giving out for EVERY CATEGORY in
EVERY REGION, except for Eastern Gold. (Schwartz, Vickland, you guys are on my
S**t list for ruining what could have been a perfect record!)
I would like to thank all of you who participated this year. It has really
shown what the 1-26 can do. I see a lot of new names on the following list that
I haven't seen before, which is fantastic! I hope that we can make it even
bigger and better next year! I will be stepping down as Sheriff next year and
letting Norm Miller have a crack at it, as I will be busy preparing for the '05
championships, but will still be involved with the sweeps in a very active way.
(So don't think you can escape if you don't submit your flights!) Once again,
thank you all for making this such a great year. Now, without further ado, here
are the results. I have included everyone who participated as there are no
losers in the Sweepstakes, there are just some who don't get a trophy! For
those who did not, I promisee you they had a heck of a lot of fun in the
process.
