Well I just like to keep my trailer excersized. Ive flown small
triangles and came back home. It was cool but sort of boring in its
own way. Im working on getting the CAP to be my crew for at least
some flights this summer. that should be cool! Might have to add a
tent to my landout kit!

I have landed at a few airports and I guess I wouldnt technically
consider them landouts from my perspective but they certainly are from
the crews perspective.

From the crew's perspective, that should be considered a retrieve, not
a landout. If it were REALLY a landout, they would insist on a LOT more
pizza and beer than a simple retrieve from an airport. Not as much pizza
and beer as if you were flying an ASW 17, of course, but definitely more
than for an airport landing.
