Actually I stood in the designated spectator area. So it should have been pretty obvious to the members what I was. And while there was occasion for members to walk by, it wasn't exactly located with "the group".
Maybe next time I'll ride the Harley to the site and stay on it as I cruise up and down the pit area looking at the planes. Maybe that will get someones attention?
