Didn't your Mum or Dad ever buy you a bicycle as a child, or is it something deeper that you may not want to share with us?
Hmm, My dad built my first bike from bits and pieces, while I watched and learned. My mum taught me to build and fly model planes, and paid for my first few flying lessons, I appreciate them both for that - I'm proud to share! I am lucky to fly with the freedom I do, and proud to share that too, so yes, I like the sound of my own voice being proud of aviation, and trying to draw other in by inclusion, what's wrong with that?
I occasionally encounter people who may focus on what's wrong with what other people do. That emboldens me to stand up for what's right about what people do to participate in aviation. I like the sound of that, so yes, I guess I like to hear it, even if it's just me...
I'm delighted that people enjoy other types, and prefer them, that's what makes us all great, unless we're dissing the other person in the process. You can be proud of what you do and like, without taking a shot at the other person in the process - right?
So yeah, I guess it breaks my heart a bit that people who come here for a common interest, arrive here, and start taking shots at the other for no reason I can figure - it's not at all obvious to me! Sorry, I'm just a simple 150 owner!
Would posters here honestly stand around the airport coffee shop, pointing out to the apron, and dissing various planes they see? Not in any airport group I frequent!
Quiet comment: My 150, and my boat that floats are two different planes, but don't worry, they both have poor ailerons for light crisp flying, and I freely admit to that!
