I have visited and flown at many fields in my lifetime. I've really never met one that wasn't friendly or didn't throw out a welcome mat. But I am sure there are a few people around that are members that just throw out a bad persona once in awhile.
However, before I unload any planes, I walk around and introduce myself to the other people that are present. And before I drag anything out, I always ask one of the club members if I can use their field. I've never had one yet, say no! I have had a few ask if I was a AMA member though. Big deal.
Sorry the ole boy had a problem.
