The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Crossed the start cylinder boundary 12 times. The scored start is the latest crossing from which the flight still makes its best run along the course — re-starting supersedes an earlier start, while simply flying back through the cylinder later in the task changes nothing.
