My
mate who flew Mosquitos in THE BIG SHOW and with whom I shared a B727 cockpit
in the GOLDEN YEARS is 91 and still flying his RV6.
I
will be 68 this year and to quote Grayhawk – “they’ll have to pry my Lancair
pistol grip out of my cold dead hands” unquote. ( actually Grayhawk was
referring to his starter). Mind you, she who must be obeyed got pretty
close,.

only two time coastal circumnavigator of continental Australia at 65 and 66 in
a Lancair (or anything else as far as I can find
out)!!!!!

old?
GOM … I’m already 68 and am cutting forward not back.
Steve Wittman was 91 and still making it work when the plane he was
flying had a structural failure.
Chuck Yeager still cutting it in his 80’s
Bob Hoover made it work into his 80’s
OK … so these are exceptional people. SO ARE WE.
Don’t give in. 68 old? Not me, at least yet.
