COOL thread!

I wasn't the pilot but I took the pics!

Wow, I took up a Diamond D20 to 11,000 feet a few weeks ago on the way to Lake Lanier, GA. Had to get that cooler weather.

This was me taking a C-130 into someplace in Iraq back in '04. We would start our tactical arrival at about 20000 ft and spiral down as fast as possible. A lot of fun in a big airplane.

My buddy is a flight surgeon in a C130 outfit and he talks about the tactical arrival. The PT26 I fly belongs to him.

Man! You guys are cool!

...probably too late for a 53 yr old to consider "taking up" flying?

Great thread btw!

Cheers!

Take some lessons, it's never too late. I know some guys in their 80's flying solo gliders.

I think so, but its been a while. It was the base that later became a huge US air base in Iraq. The middle third of the runway was bombed out in the first part of the conflict.
