Take your tongue outa your cheek and come on. It's usually a pretty good gathering. "Line boy" is now 'Refueling Person".

A "Fly-in" is when a group of pilots gets together at a mutually agreed upon airport for breakfast, lunch, supper, etc.
It's similar to an unhosted GMC gathering.

How we get into these..... sheesh<tm>
'Cracker' is an old term for a countryman, particularly in Georgia. It has recently been given the connotation of a racial slur, much the same as 'redneck' where I grew up. Consequently, both are less used. I miss regional language but I suspect it's pretty much on the decline anymore.
I will point out, the Crackers were the minor league baseball team in Atlanta before the Braves got here.
If anyone is interested in the genesis of these two terms, I'll provide.

We residents are called "Georgia Crackers". Affectionately, derogatorily,
and commonly.

I have come to discover that, with the introduction of "White Privilege", there is no longer any objectionable, pejorative or racial slur that cannot be used to identify a white skinned person of Christian heritage. Be aware that anything that is said about any minority that even has a lot of letters (regardless or root meaning) similar to what used to be a pejorative can and will most certainly be cause for great angst and possible retribution.
That is just the way it is these days.

By what you are saying, I guess "All in the family" might have a hard time
finding sponsors today? Guess we will have to find a more [politically
correct] terminology to describe a meathead. Shoot. (Oops, probably cannot
use that one, either)

In Florida, a Cracker is a ranch hand / cow puncher. Cracker comes
from the crack of the bullwhip used to drive the cattle along.
