Images! Images! Images! It’s all about great images! Cross Country magazine prides itself on finding the best photography in our sport and presenting it to the world in a well-designed, high-quality magazine for the free flying community’s enjoyment.
But that doesn’t mean we only work with pro-photographers. After 23 years’ service, Cross Country magazine’s network is far reaching. We get pilots sending us fantastic images from around all around the globe and over the years we’ve been lucky enough to unearth some amazing talents.

We’ve even printed covers and run six page galleries with images that were sent to us as humble Readers’ Gallery submissions.
Here at Cross Country we’ve got projects galore on the go, and we are always looking for powerful photography to accompany them. Maybe you’ve got the shot we want? You’ll never know unless you send it in.
To help you hone your submissions here’s a list of locations and subjects we are currently looking for images of. Maybe you’ve been there? Maybe you’ve got that perfect shot sat on your hard drive just waiting to be seen by the world?
