Default oldest pilots

Al Santilli was born on May 28, 1914. At 91, almost 92, he is still
active, regularly flying his Libelle out of Moriarty, New Mexico. (He's
been soaring since he was 16 in 1930.) I'm trying to find out if he is
the oldest currently active soaring pilot in America. If anyone knows
of an active pilot who is of the same vintage or older, please let me
know. (Or anyone in another country, for that matter).
