RETURN DISTANCE

Go anywhere you want and then turn toward home. Only mileage toward home
from the farthest point counts.

End of rules.


It'd be an interesting task, but I don't think that would be the end of
the rules or discussion! For instance:

-unlimited relights?
-relights allowed if you land off the airport?
-how is tow order decided?

It reminds of me of the "cat's cradle" distance task from 30+ years ago,
which lost popularity as pilots decided they didn't like flying seven or
eight hours a day, day after day. Some of them didn't think that was safe...
