From one sexy senior citizen to another "welcome aboard" I started my
flight lessons at age 69 and now 10 years later still flying my own C150. You have many years to go, enjoy!!!!!!!!! Bob Barker N8749S And - I have to tell you - Bob was a GREAT motivation to me. The fact that I can now fly circles around him is irrelevant (note for the humour impaired - that was a joke ![]() ![]() ![]() The fact that I'm sexier? That wasn't a joke ![]() ![]() ![]() Go for it! Become the 1 in 1000 who really live! Tony -- Tony Roberts PP-ASEL VFR OTT Night Cessna 172H C-GICE |

Being 55 myself, I don't plan to stop flying anytime soon. Glad to have
you aloft. -- Gene Seibel Tales of Flight - http://pad39a.com/gene/tales.html Because I fly, I envy no one. CareBear wrote: I've been lurking here since May of this year and thought I'd go ahead and announce myself. I started flying in May and am now on my third dual xc. Flying has always been a dream of mine and I decided to "make it happen" since I'm getting much older (55, I don't plan on becoming a career pilot). I have about 25 hours flying time. My greatest experience so far was my solo flight. This newsgroup presents (for the most part) a lot of good and useful information as well as experiences. Just thought I would say hello. CareBear |

CareBear Congratulations CareBear, I am sure you will never regret it. I waited 41 years to learn and got my PPL age 64, and my aerobatics certificate at 65 . The greatest thrill. The trouble is, it is just getting too expensive in the UK. about $150 an hour for a small Cessna, more if you want anything aerobatic. -- Quilljar Never trust anybody who is too sophisticated to own a rubber chicken. |
