This is the year that tore it for me. After we had the tent set, up a
jet was brought in and parked with both engines pointing towards us.

Man, that's terrible. I don't blame you for being upset to the point of
quitting EAA.

I saw a couple of jets parked in the North 40 (was that where this took
place?), and marveled at the stupidity of parking them there. I, too,
assumed they would get a tow, at least into the open row between the tents,
before starting.

I also wondered how those turbines would handle the inevitable FOD that
comes from parking in the grass. My wing step had OSH grass wrapped around
it when we landed in Iowa City...

I would hope that in the future the EAA volunteers send these jet-jockeys
over to the Basler ramp, where they rightfully belong.
