I think we may be teaching new cross-country pilots backwards. I wish many years ago I had looked in the back of The Soaring Engine vol. 3. I also wish anyone at all had told me why to fly instead of repeating how to fly. I think we can also do much better to check in on each other’s feelings.

If you want to see somebody’s face light up, tell them to go far today, because you’ll go pick them up if they land. Tell them it’s natural to be afraid of things you’ve never done and seen, and they are doing a great job exploring it all. When they land out, tell them about all the times you did too. This is what makes a fast pilot.
