THAT, sir, is one impressive 100-year old! -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of David Cudney Sent: Sunday, May 09, 2010 7:30 PM Subject: RV-List: oldest RVer 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? dave ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:48:15 AM PST US From: David Cudney Subject: Re: RV-List: oldest RVer 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 dave On May 10, 2010, at 6:00 AM, Bob Collins wrote: > A 100-year old guy can get up on the wings and get over the side > fuselage.

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. Dave Cudney Sent from my Iphone with fat fingers ---- and I'm some cases "inventive spelling and punctuation".
