Head in the clouds Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 A sign of the times perhaps? Hopefully a sign that cases of dementia is receding and general health is improving. The Gold Coast Sport Flying Club now has five members who have qualified for application to the USA's UFO club (United Flying Octagenarians). I remember when it was a matter for the National News when a pilot was still flying in their eighties, and we now have five of them in one club. Our first was Lloyd Salisbury, who was one of our Kooralbyn students in the 1980s, and recently another four (pictured below) have been added to the list - Alan Roberts, John Bailey (also a 1980s Kooralbyn student), Ray Morgan and Ray Jones. Any other flying octagenarians out there that people know of? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
