Default RE: The politics of jet flying

Hi,

I am the president of my flying club. Turbines are safe. It's sad to see this kind of thing, though. I used to belong to a club where the local gentry would show up in their overalls, then set up their trainers and bipes and just sit and talk all day. Never fly. They sure had a lot to say to the guys who did fly, though. They'd sit there and judge landings, loudly quote the rulebook and basically hassle anyone who was flying anything without two wings and a round cowl. Those guys kicked the jets out of that club one day so I left.
