As I mentioned before, after I lost my medical, I tried to stay close
to aviation (to no avail) by trying radio control and simulation.
During my brief sojurn in radio control, I joined a "flying" club that
was quite active. But more than a few radiologists, when they found
out that I was a licensed pilot, kinda sulled up - not actually
defensive - just avoided me as much as possible. I think they all
wanted to be pilots, but for some reason - finances (althought some of
those models were more expensive than some of our early planes), the
wife, inertia, etc. I think the final straw for me when I saw a
picture in one of their magazines showing a modeler with helmet,
goggles and scarf, landing a model biplane.

Interesting - I'd be curious to know what you think would transpire if you
tried posting the above paragraph to rec.models.rc.air.

It appears you formed a sweeping generalization of a whole class of people
based on a few subjective conclusions on your part. Any reason why you
ruled out the possibility that they avoided you was because you might have
been exhibiting a haughty or condescending attitude? In other words, if
one
person avoids you, lacking anything other than speculation, it is equal
probability the fault lies with them or you. But when a whole group of
people avoids you, what do you think the probability is that a group
having
only one thing in common would all be at fault for that behavior, but not
you?

Did I say the whole group? Did I say all? Why are you being defensive? While
I may be an obnoxious *******, I did make a few friends at the time, some
with whom I still communicate.
