Coordinates are auto-generated from flight records and have not been individually verified. The indicated location may be approximate or erroneous. Always confirm the actual takeoff site on the ground before visiting. Data provided as-is, without warranty of any kind.

Track starts

Where the flight tracks uploaded to XContest begin, not surveyed launch spots: a track often starts before or after the actual launch, so the exact launch spot may differ.
