Tales Of The Bloody Triangle
In defense of the Downwind Dash -
1) You tend to have to fly over much more unfamiliar terrain.
2) It's a big leap to take off and, even with a goal, have no idea where you are actually going to land. (A big thank you to Tony Condon for encouraging pilots to get over this hump.)
3) A possible multi-day retrieve is a major commitment to the flight.
