Anyone got bitten by the aviation bug much later in life?

Age doesn't matter unless your wine or cheese.
 
Hubby and I began flying at an advanced age. Not nearly so advanced as now, but at the time it seemed elderly. I was 56 when training began.

I am in the process of updating and re-publishing some stories from those early days. Our first transcontinental flight is online at: http://www.auntpeggy.com/CATrek/

Never had flown in a small plane. Two years ago I was sent by my job to a meeting on a charter flight, on Cessna 421. Only empty seat was the co-pilot right seat. Pilot leant me a headset and explained what he was doing. When I got home I signed up for flight training and got my PPL five months later. I was 54 when I started. Purchased my own plane last year. Love every minute in the air.
