Since the future of warbirds and their history will be left up to the younger folk I was curious who here is in the 25 or younger range? That age poll got me to thinking. I am interested to see who you are. Thanks!

So with that. I am 22 but I turn 23 next Friday. :D

Cheers,
Nathan(the young but getting older) :shock: :wink:


Well, let me put it this way.
I once attended a meeting of Cub Scouts to answer aviation questions with several other air show pilots. A small boy in the back of the room was constantly waving his hand like mad at me trying to get my attention to ask me a question. Finally I called on him. The Cub Master addressed the boy, "You have a question for Mr. Henriques?"
"Yeah...YEAH!!!" PLEASE......tell us Mr Henriques, what was Orville Wright really like?"

44. Turning 45 in late March. #@*&#+%$@*. From a statistical point of view, well over 50% of my life is done and I still don't own a Bearcat.

I'm trying to decide what to do for a mid life crisis. Any suggestions?
