That used to be true. It changed about 30 years ago. Except for initial
cross-country time for beginning ratings you don't have to land at another
airport to log cross country. I flew 24 hour airborne alert flights in the
B-52H at Minot AFB, ND in the early 60s. At that time it couldn't be logged
as cross-country since I took off from and landed at Minot 24 hours later.
It was changed (I believe in the early 70s) so that it can be counted as
"general" cross country time.

When Steve Fossett gets back from his round the world flight and sits down
to fill out his logbook, it's a bit strange that he won't be able to log
any cross country time.
