Interesting to read how many guys have the mindset that at 30 or 40 yrs old it's too late to start flying.

Nobody told me it was too old when I started at 62 !...

I'm 70 now and have flown all over the USA and now I'm home based again back in the UK I've just started to fly here.
I still get the biggest buzz when I take to the air, just as if it was the day I first took my discovery flight which was a birthday present from my kids.

Something else I'll mention, my CFI in Florida who trained me didn't learn to fly himself until he was 45 yrs old, he went on to get his CFI ticket and at age 50 he joined Delta Airlines as a FO on regional jets, that was 2yrs back and he is now close to moving across to the captains seat...just goes to show, it's never too late to pursue your dreams.
