Interesting thread! By coincidence I was at TAG Farnborough today and got chatting to the first officer on the biz-jet which was reason for my presence there. I said my mad plan was to to do my ME CPL/IR on retirement aged 51 (assuming fit & healthy) with the long shot hope of maybe a RHS on a TP or if not, I'd still be happy as Larry doing some instructing. As a previous poster mentioned, I would be a 25 year PPL holder with probably over 1000 hours.
His view was that it wasn't so mad, he'd known of several do it at that age.
Obviously I'd have a police pension, so I wouldn't really need to earn any money, which the more I read on here will probably be fortunate.
