Too-Ashuu
Where the longest flights of the 2026 season were flown: 119.21 km, 116.43 km and 116.14 km, all in mid-July, all by visiting Spanish pilots. We add it to this table because the record says it belongs here and because the first version of our table mentioned Too-Ashuu only as a road you drive through.

One row per flying area we actually operate in or drive to. Every number carries its status: verified means we measured it or it comes from a primary operating document; claimed means a public source states it and we have not checked it ourselves; unknown means we do not know and will not guess. Retrieval difficulty is our own operational judgement, not a published standard. Where a site has a best known flight, it is the best flight publicly registered from it in the season named — not our own, and not a record claim.
