Each to there own view but jet flyers like to make it seem harder than it really is.
i Guarantee i can take a heavy metal F-4 to a big warbird fly-in, start the turbine and hand the TX over to the folks flying those giant gasser warbirds that have never flow a jet and greater then 90% of them will tear it all to hell simple as that.
Great to see you have respect for 10% of the folks who fly warbirds.
So what? This is probably the same percentage of people at a jet meet than can actually land on the runway and not slide off the side.

Are you so much better than they are?

I can guarantee that I could take your heavy metal F4 with a buddy lead and talk 90% of the folks at a big warbird fly-in thru how to fly it without tearing it all to hell as simple as that.

Jet snobs will be a new term in the dictionary soon I think.
Personally I am trying to stop that opinion of jet flyer's as it's not good for the sport.
