Who's the oldest?

Does anyone know an ACTIVE flying microlighter older than the guy at our club. He's 73 years old and flies religiously, every Saturday afternoon, weather permitting.
I don't have permission to post his name unfortunately, but some of you know him :D
I think the trike is older than him :D

How old is Demon? Or maybe Morph?

Don't think the GT450 will make 8000 kms and the Ozzie postage service checks all the incoming mail so I think I am pretty safe over here!

Jislaaik, ek ken k@k en HKGK. Morph is dalk klein maar hy gaan julle opf#$

Looks like a disco lights box in front of the trike as instrument panel

Getting old is like matured red wine it just gets better.

I only drink one type of wine and that is Bandiewine.( 3 Year KWV)

It is also not that one enjoys the flying so much but that you appreciate it all the much more.

That is a remarkable achievement i would say Duckie

Take my hat off to him. Any idea how many years he has been involved with microlighting and the amount of hours he has

Erm that arrow on the spat is that for indicating the direction of travel

Yeah Cloud Warrior Morph and demon are but "Spring" chickens well since i last saw them anyway :D :D :D

And last but not least smiley yer optimism overrides the reality of the situation

32/26

although i do believe if they follow The Agents advice about seeing more "los balle" they may put up a good show :D :D :D

Your's in Rugby & Flying

Old enough to know how to inflict pain, lots of pain

you've got that one right

It is commendable to see someone at his age still flying. This is what I want to be when I grow up.

The only question I have is why he is indicating a right turn with his hand, doesn't he have indicators on his trike

I hope I'll be flying at that age

Is that 4 stripes on his shoulders?

Maybe his an ex-com pilot!! Captain

Think you have it wrong. Flying a trike is a step UP from being a Com pilot. The ultimate uber pilot flies a hang glider.

remarkable feat to maintain a class 4 medical at his age...We have a PPL pilo in East London who is over 70 and who maintains his IF rating and flies a twin....
