Sorry I am still going on about this topic - It takes me guess 12 hours
flying (20hrs of my time) to teach an old fart who will be in gliding for
the next 15 years and may give us extra stress in our live whereas in 12
hours (20 hours of my time) I can teach TWO teanages (or up to 25 yrs old)
to fly and they could be around gliding for the next 50 years each (total
100years) I am not going to waste my valuable time any longer unless
there is a worthwhile return. The only ones I might make exceptions to are
younger airline pilots (usually switched on) and hang glider pilots (at
least they can thermal and don't get shot down) ................Ian McPhee

OK OK Dave but we should still vet the +50s or give them points like a

they go to the wait list - our time is much better spent into teaching
the good ones Macca
Sad but true.
As an 'old fart' who started flying before ANY sex, let alone regular sex,
I see all too many older sprogs who have led sedentary lifestyles for
several decades, struggling to keep their brain ahead of the airframe.
Many find it all too hard and give up.
I commend those who stick at it.
