Default RE: Turbines and Edf's performing on the same stage.

Hmm, next you will be whining that they won't let you fly your Eurofighter at a C/L event.

I guess the problem is that you TURBINE guys don't want to say "TURBINE" and demand the right to say "JET". Fine, buy my EDF is also a model of a jet.

As for the 'special time and place' issue, that is one way to solve the 'problem' of the guys on the flight line being totally self centered and unable to accept the direction of a spotter. More experienced fliers do things like work well with 3D folks but beginners have problems with planning where their aircraft is going to be in X seconds. I realize that is not a nice thing to say, but it remains a fact.

I agree, the turbine guys I have observed recently in this forum seem to be of the "separate but equal" variety. So sad.
