I got my PPL at 54 and have found tremendous joy in following my
heart. When I started lessons I found that the young 20 something
flight instructors were so polite to me that I really felt old :-) But
they stopped being quite so polite after a while ...

Learning new things in flying always seems to take me a little longer
than most. I think it's because I come from a background (counselling)
that is so completely different. But I just get stubborn and
determined and always come through. Last summer I learned tailwheel
and basic aerobatics and that is REALLY fun.

I see that AOPA kas a 'late blooming aviators' club' in their chat
room by the way.
