TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE,
THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN A THIEF AT A FLYING CLUB, OR AN OLD GESIERD THAT HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN COMPLANE ABOUT SMALL ISSUES LIKE FLYING BEHIND FLIGHT LINESOR NOT TURNING JUST PAST BARBER POLES. YOU GUYS WORK
TO HARD FOR YOUR MONEY TO ENJOY WHAT LITTLE TIME AT THE FIELD YOU FLY AT.
A.M.A. STATES THE OLY REASON YOUR PLANE SHOULD HAVE AMA# AND PERSONALID IS FOR AN INSURANCE CLAIM ONLY..............
IT IS NOT A RULE THAT YOUR PLANE HAS TO BE IDENIFIED.
AND FOR ALL THE GUYS THAT QUIT FLYING BECAUSE OF SOME OLD FART THAT FORGOT HIS FIBER PILL THE DAY BEFORE DONT WORY NOTHING LASTS FOREVER.
In reverse order: With that attitude and lack of knowledge, you won't last long, much less forever, at those fields where some semblance of order is maintained, and fliers are expected to have some degree of self-discipline and respect for the welfare of their fellow pilots.
Aircraft identification is required by AMA Safety Code, General #6. At my field, owned by a Chartered Club, only AMA members fly, and all rules are expected to be observed. The Safety Code is a guide for insurance but not ONLY for insurance.
Clubs that have worked and funded their own flying facilities do not owe the member anything. The member owes it all to the club.
I would love to have you visit my club and fly behind the flight line and then ignore it when any CMbr. advises you that such is
not tolerated. I do go to various events and only one large area-club tolerates such, but only a considerable distance from the staging areas and then for those that are unable to fly a right-handed landing pattern.
Have a nice whatever of your choice but not behind my flight-line.
