Dan, et al,
 
Maybe us mature Lancair pilots should get together at the Branson fly-in  
(October 2011).  We could trade stories; i.e. Some of the things I  like 
about flying is that I can turn up my headset volume to compensate for  hearing 
loss, enable a traffic alerting witch to watch for what I  might miss seeing 
(if I remembered to put my glasses on), engage Otto (the auto  pilot) to 
take care of flight disruptions from the shakes, activate  the automatic 
header tank filler to overcome selective memory lapses,  use the AOA nag to 
awaken me during mid-flight naps leading to attitude  problems and the panoply of 
squealing idiot lights tied to scads of  sensors to take the place of 
mindful scans (hmmm... attention disorder?).

PS:  I sent a request to Garmin to add a "nearest hospital"  function to 
the 430W.
PPS: I am adding detailed "symptoms" and "actions" to the  emergency 
checklist computer.
PPPS: While I supply my passenger with an O2 cannula just like  mine, 
their's is not hooked up to anything.  I prefer they go to  sleep and not bother 
me during my daydreams.

C'mon  guys (and gals) - I'm still flying my 235 at 77 and my hangar 
partner, 
a  retired Navy pilot, is 81 and flys his Falco about as many hours a year 
as  
I fly my Lancair. Lots of $100 hamburger flights (in the summer) and  
several 
trips each year from my home field in Coeur d'Alene (Pappy  Boyington 
Field) 
to cenral California to visit my niece and nephew in  Santaq Rosa. Planning 
a 
trip to southern Texas this coming summer to visit  old friends and to just 
enjoy the experience. The only thing I've done as  a result of flying at 
this 
age is to add oxygen to N235SP for cruise legs  - which for my 235 is best 
at 
9.5 to 12.5 k - a small price in my  opinion.

I once promised the wife, in a unthinking moment when I was  much younger, 
that I'd hang up the ticket when I turned 80 - assuming I  was still around 
at the time - but the closer I get to it the more I'm  inclined to let that 
slip my mind. I'm now inclined to fly as long as the  AME signs the medical 
each two years.

Keep flying!

Dan  Schaefer
