We have "OF's" at our field, however instead of fighting them, I socialize with them. Some of these "OF's" just need some very little TLC and they're alright. Besides, I was one of them before I got addicted to this *****. I have noticed that most jet piltos I know stick to their crowds, just as Heli pilots do.

We may be diggin in our own graves (or runways! ). Many times I go home after a good session and I say to myself, "darn I forgot to tell Larry how good his P-51 looks".

Many times I have been told by "OF's" how much they dislike jets, so I've taken it upon myself to change their minds one by one by actually sitting down with them and dicussing all the urban legends about jet flying.

Not many jet pilots realize............the trick to adding 200ft more of runway to our field lies in winning the hearts of our OF's.
