The 2026 BFA U.S. Nationals have officially wrapped up in Scottsbluff, Nebraska! Congratulations to every pilot who competed and helped make this a fantastic championship.
A special congratulations to the podium finishers:

We’re especially proud to celebrate two outstanding accomplishments from Cameron pilots. Congratulations to Chris Garcia, who earned Rookie of the Year honors flying a ZL-60, and to Sanne Haarhuis, the highest-finishing female pilot in the field, flying an XT-65!
Finally, a huge thank you to the event staff, officials, volunteers, and scoring teams who worked tirelessly to put on a great championship despite some incredibly challenging weather conditions!
