Hi,

my CFI was 72 years when I trained for the PPL. This man was _great_. He
was calm, experienced and he knew about the risks involved.

I'm still dreaming about flying as precise and
always-two-steps-ahead-of-the-plane as he did.

Regards,
Peter

(who thinks it's totally absurd about measuring age by years. Give a
twenty year old person a troublesome weak, just 5 hours sleep a night,
dehydration the days before and a bottle of diet coke warmed by sunlight
before the flight - and you'll see _real_ bad performance...)
