I just turned 53 and find myself finally with the time to pursue
aviation as more than an interested spectator. A pilot friend
recommended the light sport pilot designation for me. That is one
opinion.

I need to know if, at my relatively late date it is reasonable to
expect to be piloting my own plane. I am in good health, so I doubt
that's an issue.

Advice, please?

You know, Bob, Terry may be right that some of us would be concerned
about his age. But I don't think most of us will hold his youth and
inexperience against him.
