Should they instead wear a panama hat, blazer and silly cravat, like you? Your contempt for ordinary people is staggering.
I remember well the airshows of the 1980s, when people collected badges and stickers, wore bomber jackets festooned with patches, and took lots of photos and video with equally outrageous kit. By contrast, if your baseline is the 1950s, then no wonder you sound so absurdly out of touch.
