Re: What age is too old?
ATPL,
As long as you are in good health, then you are young enough to learn to fly. I've know people in their 60's who started taking flying lessons and got their private and instrument ratings.
This reminds me of a funny story, a lady was over flying our airport and the controller asked what type of plane she was flying, she said she was flying a Porterfield. The controller asked what is a Porterfield was and she in her very grandmotherly voice said, "if you don't know then you are much too young sonny."
She returned a few days latter and landed to chat with us, she turned out to be in her mid 70's, she was a WASP pilot during WWII, and not only owned the Porterfield but also a C182 that she flew on a regular basis.
So if she was not too old to fly, then neither are you.
