kaz3g Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 DWF, partner and friends arrived at Shepparton this evening from Temora. Flying Cirrus, C177 RG and Piper Arrow, they came across the Nullabor from the South-west corner of WA tracking Forrest, Port Pirie, Canberra, Temora and then Shepp. Really great to meet them and see other mature-aged pilots enjoying themselves. We socialised a bit at the Aeroclub this evening and they are coming back in the morning for our fantastic pancake brekky which is held on the first Sunday each month.

rankamateur Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Just out of interest Kaz, at what age does a pilot mature? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz3g Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Not really sure...but somewhere along the line I lost the confident immortality of youth and found the cautious carefulness of older folk. I think we pilots sum it up in the adage that: There are bold pilots and old pilots, but there are no bold old pilots Kaz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 One of my wife's favourites ! Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot. You can't do both. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guernsey Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Just out of interest Kaz, at what age does a pilot mature? When his blood is worth bottling. Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWF Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 As you mature (and use up your three score years and ten) you enter your second childhood and the fun starts (continues) all over again. DWF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWF Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Thank you Kaz and members of the Shepparton Aero Club for your hospitality and assistance on Saturday evening and a great pancake breakfast this (Sunday) morning. I can highly recommend the meals and friendly reception at SAC so if you are close or passing drop in. They do a Friday evening meal, a Saturday lunch and the famous Sunday morning breakfast.

facthunter Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The way you distinguish the Men from the Boys is by the size of their toys. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yes, you can have too many. Just borrow someone else's, occasionally, to remind yourself your decision was the wrong one, and you are humble about it, and admit it and make the other guy happy. (Don't apply this to women). Ne marche pas. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I must be a real man as I don't have any boys. Not sure if I have matured. More like wine, doesn't mature, just turns to vinegar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
