For gliders that's probably true. *I have several times in my 30 years
of flying gliders wished that I had a lot more altitude *RIGHT NOW*,
but I don't remember ever wishing I were on the ground *RIGHT NOW*.

Altitude solves most problems. Ground contact solves few problems and
presents many.

Maybe not "I wish I was on the ground RIGHT NOW" but plenty of times
where I would think " I wish I had landed 30 minutes ago !" or had
not even taken off.
