Default Total cross country distance flown

The OLC gives the total scored distance flown in the US for the 2005 season
as 1,068,218.12 km (3044 flights). What do you suppose the actual total
distance flown for all flights was in the world? I couldn't find that
number on the OLC web site. Whatever it is, it's sure to be a pretty
staggering number.

Most non-glider pilots are astonished that gliders can go XC at all. Most
sports fans like numbers so I'd think it would be worth at least a footnote
in recruiting efforts.

Now if only we could exchange those for frequent flyer miles.
