old folks home
Sharpened- your note reminds me of when I met someone who I had assumed had given up flying due to ill health.
I saw him one day and said "see you"re not flying now XX, bit of a problem with the medical"?
Back came the reply--"No i"m ok--I am 60 you know--time to put my feet up , get out the slippers"! i staggered away--dazed- couldn"t beleive it. No-ones ever seen him since.
