I think it says something about consistency and quality. Only comment, though - be respectful of the old folks. I am still closer to 70. but 80 is not that far away.

Best time to fly a Fox is early otherwise you'd better be a soaring pilot to take advantage of the long wings. Happy to hear your Grandmother at 80 can get into the ship......tough for me and I'm a little younger! Bet she enjoyed her flight too! Keep up the steady flying, most important to be current. Good job!
