Chris, maybe you should ask John about the percentage of injury landings at random XC landing sites compared to the percentage of injury landings at regular designated landing zones.

I remember a Pilot friend of Mine always bringing up the subject of: (Peak Heating). Yes Dick would pay close attention to the Clock so that He could launch and be in the Air during Peak Heating. So Currently I have gotten to know one Pilot Who determines when He will launch, not By Peak Heating. No His Peak Sleeping is a deciding factor. But this nonsense works for Him. Fellow Pilot: So Sleepy were You able to: (Get Up Yesterday)? Sleepy Pilot: No I sunk out and landed. Why do You think that You sunk out? Because I sleep in oast Peak Heating.
