And what if you are 60?

I am just going to throw this into the ring, so you can have a laugh (at me?), and maybe make the 50 year olds feel REALLY GOOD!

Yes I have made a few bad choices and now I am 60 (only just), and wish that I was flying every day of my life instead of once a fortnight out of the aéroclub.

I am happily married with three grown up children, no mortgage and still ten or fifteen years of work ahead of me (I am self employed surveyor and part time ATPL lecturer in Air Law).

I have my PPL (I fly mostly Piper 28) and am based in LFMD.

The big question, have I really left it too late, is my dream of some (any) commercial flying activity, now just a dream, or is there still a niche out there for someone like me?

Is it even too late (not worth) putting the effort in for the CPL?
