Hi Bobdee
Do'nt get discouraged because of your age. I had a trial lesson for a 50th. birthday present. I finally saved enough to do some serious flying by the time my 60th. came along. 15 hours later I was ready to solo but failed the medical. Loads of dispondancy. Along came the NPPL. I was able to get my doctor to sign my medical declaration so started again. 14 hours later I finally acheived my first solo First solo after 11 years. Hang in there friend you'll get there in the end
Best Wishes.
