Tf,

I started at age 45 last August 27. Trained at least 2 times a week to
rebuild my coordination and keep the rust off. Took my checkride FRIDAY Feb
13, 2004. Now at age 46 am glad I started, stayed with it and got my PPL.
I am still learning but enjoying every minute of it. This is a great group
as well as rec.aviation.student. Go For It.

Sound like alot of wisdom in this newsgroup would appreciate the same
about
what my prospects can be starting at 50. Flight has always been a lure
for
me (father in the business, avid flight sim user etc etc) Now that I can
financially afford to do the real thing (well lets say ~ $7,000/year
afford). I haven't looked beyond the adventure of just getting a PPL but
I'm still dreaming. Possible scenarios ? Bring me back to earth ?
