Interesting discussion, although not at all related to the topic. This isn't the first time someone has assumed I'm "older". I'm actually in the not old, not young category too!

I guess to a 16 year old, I'm old, but to someone who has been flying for 60 years, I'm just a young pup. It's interesting that age, real or perceived, results in respect from some people, but "old farts" comments from others.
