Ok so as to my club I don't think it's as much a mater of safety, as we all know it's a none issue and just a tool to surpres a type of aircraft that does not fit into the current management. The current management is financially obsessed with warbirds, particularly ARFs and P-51 mustangs. So not to get into bashing my club, it is what it is and they have driven away all the Jet guys. This is a club choice and they can live by it. I have gotten the ball rolling and they can choos to be more inclusive to others in this hobby or they can shut them out.
Fields like the waco field has welcomed my group with open arms and we all have become members there. My home club could learn a lot from them about how to welcome new members and to be inclusive. I'm sure they will lift the ban and I'm talking about the turbine ban that the club has issued. Once they do this it will be a long road to building back what they so easily tossed away.
