When talking about fighter pilots, 40s to early 50s is usually considered really
old. Just like pro athletes, there seems to be a shelf-life for what the body
can endure when it comes to this kind of work. Flying high-performance tactical
jets looks like an incredibly fun and mentally challenging occupation, but in
the cockpit, it is a physically brutal and painful task that can press human
physiology to the brink. With this in mind, it's not inaccurate to say, that
generally speaking, flying fighters is a young person's game. But there are
exceptions to this rule, and one of them is an extreme outlier to say the
least—Royal Australian Air Force Squadron Leader Phillip Frawley.

All well and good - but can he pull off a pantyhose commercial like
Joe Namath? ;^}

Very impressive accomplishments, Squadron Leader Frawley! Here's to
many mopre.
