or come up with some nuts and fly at that field and ignore them if you are good enough then be good enough.

Go to the field and fly them. Get your ama card so you actually are responsible and no one can give you a hard time. if you hurt someone then take your lumps and own up to them. If the old guys razz you and you cant handle it fly somewhere else.

Hello,

I am doing this thread to see what other people not in my club think.

I'm 15 years old.
Have been flying for 6 years.
I want to start flying warbirds, but the comments I hear at my field about me flying airplanes like warbirds are really making me mad, and making me mad because they base age on what airplanes i should be flying.
I have waayyyy more experience flying these things than they think. I try to let what they say go in one ear and out the other.

So my main question is, what do other people think about a 15 year old flying a Don Smith B-17 bomber or Nosen P-51?
P.S. I do have warbird experience if you want to know.

Thanks
