There is a perception problem with jets and that's just the facts of life, but at the same time people want to see the jets fly too. Your better off attempting to include all your fellow members in your jet projects to remove the any fears they may have, especially the governing body. It falls in our laps how we conduct ourselves on the ground and in the air, which is why you should always be prepared when you get to the field.
This is so true. I have been flying at a local field. The guys there are very open to jets and love to see them fly. Usually when a jet goes up, they land. Not out of fear, but the exact opposite. They want to watch it fly. They recently had a jet go in resulting in a small fire in a bean feild. They have not jumped on the "jets are dangerous" band wagon. They realized that the pilot made a mistake and that is the end of it. This is a very good mentality....Do not blame the type of aircraft, look at the facts!
