Commonly found lurking around the flying club common room or attempting to bone the young receptionist; the typical Hanger Queen is the staple of every flying club. Dedicating their existence to supposedly helping the club, their obnoxious and self-centred attitude quickly forces respect among all levels and it's not uncommon for these traits to influence the way the club is run. In the rare case of seeing one of these old farts flying, you'll be able to instantly tell with their shocking airmanship skills (yelling at other pilots on the radio/ passive aggressive remarks) and equally as bad flying. However, they get around it by worshipping all the flying instructors like they're Jesus. In fact, you'll often come across your CFI sat at their designated table; listening to the queens ramble on about 'the good ole days of flying' while you're banished to sit in the plane; like a mother sending her naughty son to his room!
Tip- If you want to have a bit of fun and trigger a Hanger Queen, simply complain about a minor club issue. They treasure all their self centred rules and wont take criticism lightly!
