It's great to hear that flying can continue in to the later years.
As a 30 year old I would say that the desire and romance still exists however in todays age flying is just far too expensive to keep up as a younger person.
Unless you have a job that pays enough, people in my age range are forced to prioritise saving for a house deposit etc.
Fortunately I'm lucky enough to use an aircraft for free and just pay for fuel so I can keep my hand in, but years passed where I wanted to fly but just simply couldn't afford it.
