Another Age thread(for us "kids")

This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

I am in my "late 40s" until January 29th. :wink:

I envy all of you "kids" who are getting involved with warbird-ing at a young age. I wish I had. . . :cry:

I'm 45 years old, but I feel like a kid on Christmas morning when I'm doing supervised maintenance on a Warbird. :D

Chronologically, I'm 36.

Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you I haven't matured past 19.

My wife tells me I will be 53 this summer, everyone else think I am barely 40 (good genes!).

And I started my military career working on the CF-101 Voodoo , a Cold Warbird. Been interested in aircrafts since my first flight way back in a Cessna 172 floatplane.

I'm 50, been a Warbird fan for 34 years [which is also how long i've had this same job, how's that for boring!!!] i only had one chance to go up in a T6, and really didn't want to spend the $225.00 the guy was asking for the ride. [yeah my wife says i'm a little too tight] so all you guys have enough fun doing the warbird thing, so the rest of us can get a grin reading about it here on this GREAT website!
