hi bray,
I was taking sailplane lessons (Schweitzer) before I moved to the US. I never resumed them but got into RC electric models, which I still enjoy. Interesting how this interest in aviation and high-quality sound seem to dovetail.
When I first met Ian Colquhoun back in the '80s, he had just gotten his license for float planes (a Cessna, I think) and he was flying a twin-engine (don't recall the name) when I joined Axiom.
I recently read where Morgan Freeman just learned to fly and bought his own plane. He's the same age as I am, so it's never too late. Then I read an FAA report that pilots over the age of 50 account for a disproportionate number of accidents in civil aviation and had second thoughts. . .
Regards,
