How many old geezers playing Airway Sim?

[ekaneti]

Over 30s:

Im 42. My first flight was in 1969 on a Vickers Viscount

[Kazari]

42. DC-8.

[psw231]

  44, been on lots of old birds, DC-3, Viscount, DC-8, VC-10 are ones I can remember right now. Apparently as an infant I went accross the pond by Comet with BOAC.

[Sumarno]

51,  A DC3 is the first I remember in about 64.  We called in the Blue Goose that serviced our town in Minnesota.  Live in Africa now and flew a reconditioned DC3 just a few months ago -- first built in 1942.

I'm 41 going on 42 (reluctantly) and my first flight was an Avianca 707 (300 I believe) back in 1969.

Great flight except for some horrendous turbulence over Panama.

By the way, I think the score between "old geezer playing" postings to "kids and teenager playing" postings is 4 to 223.

There's a saying that you're only as old as you feel.

I wished I lived in the 60s  ,,

I'd have loved to fly those old birdies... 707, 721/2, 731/2, 741/2/3, DC-8, DC-10, etc... but... I am 16, and have never ever solely flown in a prop plane... the smallest I sat in was an ERJ145 (Dulles-Newark with Continental Express) and biggest was 772ER (United Frankfurt-Dulles (Yes the same flight as the ERJ) )...

[JumboShrimp]

[munipandita]

[jest]

Yes definately a late bloomer here 

[Captain Ted]

62-Flew from SFO to LAX in 1966 to interview with United Airlines on a 727.  Round trip cost me $25.00

[Hachiko]

  geezer... I´m 39, my first flight was with DC-9-10 HEL-KUO (summer 1971) when I was 9 months old. I don´t remember that, but my parents said that I pretty much liked it by trying to imitate the sounds of DC-9 engines. Every year I had 1-3 domestic flights with DC-9´s and Super Caravelle´s. First long hauler for me was DC-10-30 in 1977 at age of seven. I remember staring that huge wing from my window seat and had a little fear of flying feeling, but on take off roll I was "in heaven".

[jetRush]

First flight was from Dallas-Love to El Paso on a Convair 600 in the spring of 1964.  I was 12. Guess that make me old? 

[ICEcoldair881]

considering my dad is 48, and he was born when you were 10 (i guess) that makes you 58. you aren't that old.

[jetRush]

Thanks!! You're right, not as old as some but older than most....
