Thanks for the link, that is a very encouraging thread.
I live only 2 miles from my local airport and watch those lucky ******s flying over my house every day. I'm now convinced that 35 is not too old and it's time to stop dreaming and start doing.
I'm a firefighter, so I'll be giving up a good pension (and not so good pay), but a pension isn't any comfort for a missed oppotunity or an unrealised ambition.
Age, maturity and life experience can be a real benifit let's not look on it as a disability.
Good luck everyone, we are nothing without our dreams.......
