I also reminded him that as far as the information that I have been supplied with, only an FAA Inspector has the authority to ask me for my FAA number. I also stated, that if I go to the club field to fly a model and somebody asks me to provide my FAA number or show them the number on my model, that they had very well better produce FAA credentials before hand.

P.S. Not to ruffle any feathers, I did provide him with my FAA number for the Data Bank. At my age why ruffle any feathers ? But then again, at my age, why not ruffle a lot of feathers !
