I am 70

Got my private in 1965 but have not flown for 40 years.

Was lucky enough to meet and talk to Homer Kolb at Oshkosh in the 70s a 80s.

Have been a great fan of the Kolb and Homer ever since and am still dreaming

of flying my own Kolb.  To date I have never flown in one.

Last year I got a M3c project and will soon have a building ready to start

work, and with the help from the folks on this list hope to make my long

time desire come true before I am the oldest person on this survey.  I hear

others on the list, about my age, wondering how much longer they will be

able to fly.... Hey! I'm finally ready to "GET STARTED".

Been a lurker for many years.  Also time to quit just lurking.

Thanks to all on the list for your help keeping the dream going for me.

I feel like a youngster ... does that count?

60 years young.

Since this forum has been such a remarkable source of mostly useful

information and I'd like very much for it to continue for a very long time,

I'm curious to know if there are a good number of youngster Kolbers coming

along to gradually replace aging oldster Kolbers. So, if you don't mind,

please respond with your age. If this gets enough response I'll compile and

post the results.

I look forward to flying my Firefly next year after I turn 80 on Jan. 6.

My Fly is the plane that I made my first solo in.  Still fly out of my  

trailer and added a Harbor Freight Jump Battery Winch to make the put  

away easier after it gave me a hernia last year.

Life is good with a Kolb.
