Now lets be fair Tony. Your first day at the club was primarily spent
on the retrieve of a club ship from a pasture not local to the airport.
You got a unique intro to the sport.

For several years now it's been "approved" to take club ships
cross-country. It's just that no club members will take club ships
away. Why is that? And, why is it that you have no apparent
reservations about heading out?

Sure I'm playing devils advocate here. Maybe you can spark a useful
discussion about this. You are also a power CFI, you are new to the
sport, and you are young in the context of soaring in general. I'm a
bit winded from years of trying to get my point across.
