I'm not arguing with the general point of your posting but I will take a poke at
your assertion about being outside of gliding range of the field. With that
sort of idea, how does one justify ever leaving the pattern to go somewhere?
Every cross country is outside gliding distance of the field.

Aside from that: A) possibly; and B) probably not.
