I was worried about getting him in the plane ---he just said we'll
just take our time and see if I can do it --- and he did. He still
has a remarkable touch for flying even though he can't see much.
thanks

That is wonderful but, getting in and out isn't the easiest thing to do.
How did he handle that?

Yesterday I took my Stepdad, who turned 100 in April, for a flight in
my 7A. He is a pilot but has not flown for several years due to and
eyesight issue. He liked the flight very much and did a splendid job of
controlling the plane. I think he is now an RV fan. Is this an age
record for flying RVs?

We put a low bench at the step.
He steped up on it then onto the step and the the wing.
Surprisingly he had little trouble after that.
Over the side and into the seat wasn't too hard.
He got out easier than getting in.
Of course there were several of us there to see
that he didn't loose his balance.
