35 years ago I had a student that was 75 years old. He told me he had wanted to fly since he was a kid but life got in the way. Finally his wife kicked him out of the house and told him don't come back until you learn to fly! He soloed in 12 hours and got the PPL in 50. Then bought a 172 and he and his wife did a lot of flying. See the kids and grandkids, hamburger runs, etc. A year later came back for his instrument. His wife would do the radios and navigation. They were a good team together. They flew for almost 15 years before health caught up with him.
