Jim,

By not attending a single jet event does not make you a worthless dummy but it does leave you severely ignorant concerning exactly what goes on at the jet events. Simply going to a flying field where a couple of jets might be flying in relaxed company with other types of R/C aircraft is nowhere near the same as attending a jet rally. If anything, flying is much more controlled than in a more relaxed atmosphere as every pilot at a jet event knows what is expected of him or her. Ground traffic, air traffic, and flightlines are run with military precision with the utmost respect for safety. You simply need to witness this yourself first hand to have any idea what we are conveying to you. When you do, you will experience an Epiphany----You will say,"Ahhhhhh....So that's what they mean!!!" Until you do, I hate to say....You just won't get it.
