There are two sayings in aviation that come to mind

"The medical profession is the natural enemy of the aviation
profession."

"Ditto the legal profession."

Did you by chance look like a doctor or lawyer on that day?

Cheers (and sadness),

You don't have to look like a doc or a lawyer to get The Treament
there. The people at Caddo were (in my limited experience) equally
snotty to all, regardless of appearance. I arrived in my usual attire,
looking like either a glider pilot or a homeless person, introduced
myself as a glider pilot, spoke in pilot dialect, asked questions that
indicated I knew the difference between the towplane and glider, and
was generally treated like a ******* at a family reunion. I'm sorry to
see a soaring business go under, but I can't say I'll miss this
particular outfit. I live fairly near Caddo Mills but drive 70 miles
to Texas Soaring Association instead.
