Do you have any say in what the MAAC does in Canada? Does your opinion mean anything to the Canadian equivalent of the FAA or MAAC? He can stay on his own side of the border when it comes to talking politics as he has no say on this side of the border
2. The only Good 'Ol Boys club I see around here is the " Shipmates" club. Not true. Franklin and I are part of "THE VETERAN'S CLUB". This elitist club can only be joined by those that have served in one of the five branches of the US Military, something you obviously have not done or you wouldn't be so disrespectful. As far as a "Good Ol' Boys Club, just look at Muncie and the AMA's officer core. Name me one that hasn't been an officer at least once prior to this term. You also have to remember that a certain officer basically "rigged" the last election by manipulating the magazine's content and the rules used to run the election
3. As somone who does not frequent AMA club sites, who are you to say what happens at those sites. Go to any organization and you will see the same things as you will at an flying field. The politics and behind the scenes manipulating is the same, regardless of what the hobby is.
4. Neither you nor I have any idea if that jet pilot was warned after that flight. It is possible that somone said something to him when it was appropriate and that would have been after the jet was powered down. He should have been told to stop the plane and shut it down by someone as soon as he passed that sign that said "NO TURBINES". The fact that he wasn't should be all you need to see to know that rules enforcement is not a priority, at least at that site
5. I have answered your question about how rules are enforced. It's your choice to beleive me or not. Repeating the question will not change the answer. Obviously you have not, since my response to your note 4 says no one was enforcing the rules. Try again, since I still haven't seen a believable answer
See above for my responses to your comments.
Now, as to your comment about Franklin referencing one club in PA, you could say the same about me referencing the video of the flying field in FL. That said, you really can't say any more about what happens with your lack of knowledge since you've only been to roughly half a dozen sites yourself. That's only
.28% of all the flying sites in the US, not enough for you to say your answer is an actual fact
