Nice Post! The USA has quite a few corporate types who were able to hang on! I got a tailwheel checkout in 1976 from Edna Gardner White who was 80 at the time. She must of had 40,000 hours!
More than 21,000 hours later, I still remember the checkout and how much of a professional she was...........original 99er. Sorry, off the original question........age 60 and still going!
