Fly or drive to Kissimmee (however many Ms and Es and Ss) and buy yourself a Stallion experience. Fly a P51.. sounds like a fun way to celebrate a Bday for a pilot !!!

Everyone needs an AR15 with a a Nikon scope, rail mounted laser/flshlight, several clips, and a couple 1000 rounds for practice against the zombie appocolypse.

Do I have to? I really don't like ARs unless they have a functional happy switch... if I'm gonna be stuck with semi, give me 308, prefer a FAL type...

My 60th is coming in September. Planning a trip, for the wife and I, to visit my daughters who live in NYC. From there Boston then Maine. 40th was fun, 50th was a catastrophe. I am planning to enjoy my 60th, and hope those who are important to me do as well...

Not sure what type of flying you like to do, but you can always go play laser tag in planes.

I got the AR15 last birthday.

I'm starting to lean to a new range toy.

What's the current favorite?

oh boy!! get one of those Christensen Arms, custom jobs!! i think you can order one of their rifles, and show up to take a long range shooting course with them. i bet they even make the ammo for you. do a trick caliber like a lapua..or 6.5 creedmore.

thinking 1000 meter bullseyes would be a great BD gift.

Whatever you decide, enjoy your 60th.

The desire to do much or buy much fades in your mid 70's...

Sorry to hear of your wife's medical issues. When I was younger, my mother had breast CA and went through with chemotherapy. It was terrible. But that was 20+ years ago, and she and my father just got back from a 10-day trip/cruise last night. Best of luck to you both. And happy birthday.
