"Flying at 95!!
My Dad is an ex RAF Bomber Pilot (WW2)
He flew Bostons with 88 Squadron and was one of the aircraft laying smoke on the Normandy Beaches on D Day.
Just recently, he was Guest of Honour at the celebrations at RAF Brize Norton, and during his visit (I was with him) he was shown around the whole station including Air Tanker training unit.
He was invited to take the right hand seat in the Voyager simulator, and after 10 minutes instruction, and familiarisation with the controls, made a perfect simulated landing back at Brize, much to the delight and applause from the instructors and on lookers..
So when I read in another thread of people moaning about ageism in the airlines, be very humbled at this.
