I have been in the hobby for almost 40 years and jets for 14 yrs and I still find this comment offensive. There are lots of very capable young fliers, (maybe even more capable than the "established, mature individual" referred to above, whose only drawback may be that they can't afford the jet part of the hobby right now.....this does not make these good kids 'riff raff'......obviously money can't buy class!
