Pete,

Since some of us are pretty "regulars" at off-field landings (Allez
aux vache...), I was thinking more of the legal aspect. Say you land
somewhere other than an airport and a law inforcement guy shows up, or
a private property land owner, and they are frowning. Might be good
to have a little ammo in the back pocket of "The Federal Government
not only approves of off-field landings, but encourages the training
of it as well..."

Add that ammo to the "Any port in a storm".

I did land once in hay field rented and cropped by a county sheriff
once. He was not happy. Not happy at all. Don't know if telling him
the Federal Government didn't mind would have made him smile. But
it's better than nothing.

Don't EVER land in an asparagus field!

...and don't ask me how I know!

But it was only money, right? Not like landing in a hopfield, where you
might die before any of the parts get down to the ground.

Yes, we have both hopfields and asparagus in our area. It is fairly easy
to know it's a hopfield, at least.
