Default Who takes you back home?

Hello, what is the usual term for the person who stays home to wait for an
outlanding? Is it the retriever, retrieve driver or how do you call him in
english speaking countries?

"Friend" ?

On competitions it's your crew.

"Wife", "son", "daughter". My teenage son prayed before my every flight,
asking for a landout far, far away, so he could get a chance to drive to
somewhere besides the grocery store or school.

Eric, since you have a self launcher I bet your teenage son does not get to drive very far. Can I have his number? ;-)

That was 30 years ago, when I had the Libelle H301! Now you'd have to
take him to really nice golf course for a round or two, as he gets
plenty of (car) driving to and from work, but not enough (golf ball)
driving because of the work thing.
