Sounds pretty much like a record to me, Dave! Well, at least until I get to 101 (another 31 years {:>). When is he going to start building his RV-12?

A 100-year old guy can get up on the wings and get over the side fuselage. THAT, sir, is one impressive 100-year old!

I was worried about getting him in the plane ---he just said we'll just take our time and see if I can do it --- and he did. He still has a remarkable touch for flying even though he can't see much.
thanks

That is wonderful but, getting in and out isn't the easiest thing to do. How did he handle that?

We put a low bench at the step.
He steped up on it then onto the step and the the wing.
Surprisingly he had little trouble after that.
Over the side and into the seat wasn't too hard.
He got out easier than getting in.
Of course there were several of us there to see
that he didn't loose his balance.
