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 ?

Nope...we're going to boot you into the air :~)

Not quite the same thing, but I resumed flying after a 14 year layoff on the
day after my 50th birthday. I would have done it ON my birthday, but I was,
well...incapacitated.

As for a scenario, just find a good school that you're comfortable with, do
you homework and then have at it. Try not to space your lessons out too
much, lest your motor skills pertaining to flying deteriorate a bit. (I
recommend two lessons a week, but YMMV.

As for beyond the PPL, well, take it one step at a time.
