Old and, sometimes, Bold Pilots

Congratulations to Phil Frawley on being officially deemed by Guiness Book of Records to be the oldest active fighter pilot in the world. Well done Frawls, a legend in your own lifetime it seems.

The link below will get you to the Newcastle Herald for the text and video.

Well Done Frawls

I remember a steely eyed fighter pilot trying to come to grips with the administrivia of FPO during your stint as an OPSO.

And your young fella (guess he's as old as mine now) doing a number on our mutual back fence with a play saw one Christmas.

And the detachment to Pearce... no, must have been our cousins!!

Keep flying mate - I'm still dabbling in airspace management.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

At the risk of encouraging people not to follow the link, what the OP didn't say is that he is 60.
