AFA Cadet XC Team - MIA at Montegue?

We're all on the same wavelength.

I've seen the Air Force cadets at a bunch of Regionals and it's
inspiring to see a bunch of such young enthusiasts participate -
sometimes with their folks following along too. They have never
hesitated to help other pilots - I remember one bunch pulling a glider
out of a mud pit in a "dry" lake bed at Hobbs one year and at Parowan
this year they rushed to help Nick get his Twin Astir out of the ditch
and back onto the field.

No, it's not the cadets, or even their officers that are the problem,
but some of the strange rules they operate under - probably dreamed up
by some office-bound bureaucrat. Our mutterings here are aimed at
them, not the pilots.
