That was good. Thanks!

I started flying late at 46 (power), now at 61, I sure hope to still be
flying at 80+

I started flying gliders at 28 (now 57) and wish someone had dragged me
to the gliderport when I was 14. I usually start my recruitment spiel
with "soaring will change your life". It did in the case of the
college student that listened, became our chief instructor, and is now
carrier qualified in the USN.
