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!
