I like to fly with other people who like to fly, but I enjoy the times I have the field to myself as well.

It really depends on just who the others are. I can't stand flying with the guys who assemble planes, talk about flying for like 6 hours and then disassemble planes to go home....I would rather fly alone. I really enjoy flying with the guys who push each-other to improve and challenge me to do things better, lower, slower, smoother and better.

I don't want to fly with people who think they know it all, reject anything other than what they know or find new and inventive ways to whine, moan and comiserate.

I prefer to fly with people who take this hobby with a grain of salt, and realize that we are flying TOY airplanes for fun and enjoyment, even if some of them are thousands of dollars a piece.

If it came down to a choice of flying alone or flying with the whiners, I would choose to fly alone. Thank God for Foamies....you can fly them ANYWHERE.
