Well, I'm officially 55 years old today. I think I'll celebrate
with a
little present for myself, so I'm ordering Chuck's new video on
building

Let's see if I can stay awake until 10PM through all the
celebration ;o)
But hey, the best is yet to come... Saturdays are my day at the

Well I am 47 and that is what I am seeing most everywhere. Its actually
the greatest concern I have for the future of aviation. Those that are
young today learning to fly today are learning with the intent of being
airline pilots. Once they get that airline job, many if not most walk
away from general aviation. Very few are just learning to fly because
they want to learn to fly. Those that are, just are not the kid at the
fence anymore. They are old guys like us that are much more likely to
fly only a short time before a medical issue steps up and gets in the way.

Please excuse me for butting in but this age bit has become increasingly
amusing. Since I am no longer a participating Pieter I really have no right to
use this forum as a pulpit. However I just can't help but compare the recent
comments concerning ages with the second Lieutenants doing WWII bragging of
their dates of rank. As was commonly known that rank amoung 2nd Lts. could be
closely compared with virginity amounst whore. No offense intended. You'all
keep aging and building and send me a pic now and then of your progress. I'm not

Awhile back I was asked by a man, who was checking out my Piet, if I
thought he was too old to start taking flying lessons. I told him that
if he needed to ask, he probably was. Being old is in the mind of the
beholder. Health at any age may limit our activity, but not age.

Southern Air Force Commander Corky is drei und achtzig 83, moving
"middle aged" to a new boundry. Just gettin' started on senior
citizenship, must be the mint julips. But in defense of LT's, the more
senior the commission, the more assumed, yet faulty, ideas about
authority. Since LT's have no effective domain over anybody in the
service, they compete among themselves for seniority.
Really should go change my really old underwear before the "Depends"

I have one year on you Oscar at 56. And it is a good point you make Mark
about the majority of general aviation and especially homebuilders being us
old farts. But its not like EAA is not trying to do something about it. They
had a huge KidVenture tent at Oshkosh this year and in addition to all the
normal kid activities they had a sheet metal riveting section. I couldn't
believe it there were kids as young as 6 years old doing pulled and bucked
riviting to make a foot square rudder section that they could take home.
Their were as many girls as boys doing this and I talked to one kids dad who
said it was so popular that they had been waiting two days to get their kids
in there. I think if I would have done something like that when I was 6 I
would have gotten into homebuilding several decades earlier. Have to give
credit to Vans who I believe donated all the riviting kits for the kids,
must have cost them a bunch.

You hit it Gordon. The nicest thing I remember is at 81 I was flying 41CC
like a big bird and having the time of my life without any fear from sudden
health failure. It was the drive home from the airport that scared hell out of
me. Don't sweat this age business. Live moderately, drink good whiskey and
marry a beautiful woman and maybe some of you will be Pietering around in your
ku
ju ku's.
