As for the motor allowing me to get home every day and be rested, a
good crew whith a motorhome will also provide that. Should we force
all retrieves to be by car to prevent this advantage some of us may
have?
It doesn't even take a motorhome. An SUV, station wagon, van, or mini-
van will provide plenty of room for the pilot to stretch out and sleep
while the crew drives back. Some people can sleep well in a mostly
reclined passenger seat in a regular sedan.
In the olden days, the serious pilots would have their crew out on
course well before they landed, even if they thought they might get
back, just to keep the retrieve as short as possible. I don't know if
anyone does that anymore.
