It may be discovered the crews require landing in "unprepared" locations as
a part of their qualification process. With that in mind, combining the
qual and lunch isn't that unusual. We used to fly into various locations
for a lot of reasons and take advantage of the locations to either eat at a
special location or buy cases of live lobster, go shopping etc. The flights
were required, why not get something extra too. Heaven knows our military
people get too few benefits for what they do for us all.
