65 a cutoff?

But I tried it; it is boring. All I did was hang around airports, and not get paid for it.

A fishing pole and an M-1 Garand will fix that.... Fishing pole is cheap, M-1, not so much.

And with that, I will go to bed......

Great seeing you in Santa Barbara the other day Dukie!

Duke -

You are a walking, talking anomaly. I hope I look half as good as you do when I'm 70.

Gotta love this business! I can't think of too many lawyers or doctors who choose to hang around law firms or hospitals after retirement..and they, like pilots, are also generally passionate about their chosen professions.

I guess it all comes down to two philosophical choices:
1) Work to live
2) Live to work

I choose #1. You have apparently chosen #2.

sure have, #2 is the only reason to live. I am still living the dream of a 5 year old; that is why I own an airplane, and live within two miles of the airport, spend my summer flying the B-17 and C-47 around to airshows at only a small cost to myself, food, car etc.

Confederate Air Force?

Please, Confederate is a politically incorrect word, it shows that you endorse slavery. So it is now the Commemorative Air Force. Anyway I fly for the Yankee Air Force out of KYIP​

Aviation's got to be the only field where there's a contingent that wants people to retire as soon as possible. Everywhere else people are being told to work forever, because there's no money for senior entitlements.
