First, thank you for the birthday wishes!

I'm a bit curious as to the ages of some of the Flight Simmers. At just 79 surely I'm not the oldest in the game?

Like Trap and Skeet Shooting a person can go on forever, having fun, learning and associating with good people in the Flight Simulation game.

Here's to many more years of flying and learning and admiring the talent of the programmers!

Happy birthday indeed, sir!

This punk turns 62 in 2 days.

Not sure, but I think Helldiver may be the most senior SOH member? I will be 62 soon, as well....August 7. NC

I'm thinking that's correct Chief (88?). . .anyway 68 here.

There's hope for me yet then at a measly 77...

I'll be a young 70 this September.

I took my first flight in the backseat of a Piper J3 when I was 8. I soloed a Cessna 150 in 1966 while stationed at Charleston Air Force Base, Charleston, S.C. I spent four years in the Air Force as a C-130 loadmaster. I obtained my private pilot's license in 1977.

Eric, you're just a baby..lol! I turned 62 last January. I've been with the SOH since the days of Netwings and CFS2 online. Anyway, Happy Birthday, Old Airman.

Happy Birthday Old Airman! #67 coming up in October.

**Rudyjo** · June 29th, 2015, 13:38

Will be 65 in December. In many ways I still feel like I'm 30.

**mikewmac** · June 29th, 2015, 13:51

I turned 73 in April and had my first flight in an AT-6 Texan around 1949, which ignited a passion for military aircraft that continues to this day.

While in the VT ANG from 1966 to 1972 I had several flights in a T-33 "T-Bird", a TF-102 "Deuce" and a C-47 "Gooney Bird".

Later I got my PPL and over the years flew several different GA aircraft all around New England and upstate New York.

Seven Zero here!

**AussieMan** · June 29th, 2015, 14:42

#69 for me in October. First flight was in a Klemm Swallow as a 4 year old sitting on my father's knee. Something that wouldn't happen today.

***fsafranek*** · June 29th, 2015, 14:47

Only a couple years on Eric. Will be 57 in January next.

**dexthom** · June 29th, 2015, 14:58

Compared to most of you guys I feel like I'm not even old enough to drink yet

. The big 60 an April ago !!!!!!!!

**jpmouse** · June 29th, 2015, 22:03

Turning 75 this year. Retired from the Navy in 1988 after 30 years as a submariner. I missed the sky most of all when submerged and have been in the FS skies ever since. Will probably have done a touch and go on the day I die. LOL!
