RE: Does age have to do with what airplanes you fly?
If you have the money to buy what is needed, can fly while complying with all club and AMA regulations, what are you concerned about?
Oh, you are concerned about what other people "think" of you. Get over that notion very quickly. You have no direct control over what other people think and if you learn how the system works and use it to your advantage, no one will ever be able to stop you from doing whatever it is that you want to do - except making other people think as you want them to. That one drives lots of folks crazy. Don't be one of them.
