Man, I hate clubs that discourage x-country flying. Our little club,
Southern Eagles Soaring, flying out of LaGrange, Georgia, USA, whole
heartedly encourages x-country, badge, and contest flying. One of the
first flights of our "new" two-place glass bird resulted in a honest cow
pasture landout. Of course, we were not too thrilled about the towplane
landing out in a cow pasture...- Hide quoted text -

I'm totally with Wally on XC flying with the club. I've been taking
students out for 100K or longer flights. They get a chance to see
things from a totally different prospective. Wally, you forgot to
mention that we were doing a triangle speed run for the second time
that day, after we had broken the Georgia record. It least this time
it was a 3,500 foot field, and it didn't even have any emu's!
