Im going to FL jets next week, my first time, and Im excited but I know unless you are in the (Crew) you treaded like an outsider no matter what brand of jet you have. "
i find it interesting that you said you have never been to florida jets, but you already know that you will be "treaded" (treated) like an outsider. how would you know that?
I think there is a general misconception that because folks arrive at FJ in "groups" and RV's, and hang out in their tents, that they are some sort of a social elite club, when in reality most are every day modelers who happen to be very cool people and are very approachable. And Florida is so Fkn far, that it makes sense to travel in "groups" and carry your own pose, and rent or stay in a nice RV.
Just my perception.
