I had to chuckle at that description of us seniors. Especially since
most of us that qualify, excluding me, look more like coffee-colored cue
balls from above. I resembled a Q-Tip at age 45.

If you are one of those young whipper-snappers with concerns about our
ability to fly, take warning. If you hear a call-sign ending in 2U, clear
the airways! Land Immediately! Seek shelter!
This Q-Tip just passed his 3rd class medical again. In less than two
weeks, I shall turn over the 70-years-old mark.

Be Afraid - BE VERY AFRAID!!!

blather.

If you fly around the Daytona Beach area on Saturday mornings, all you
will encounter is us "Q-Tips" -- in formation, singly in Bonanzas and
Barons, etc. The local "Marchetti mavericks" are all over 65 and retired
airline pilots; the RV-8 gang are, also. Most of them can fly the pants
off those newbie Spam cannners who are so wont to criticize us "old
farts."
