The most famous one I know about is Bud Anderson at 98.
I met him last year, still very active and gave a wonderful presentation.

A very nice gentleman. He asked if I had served in the armed forces and when I responded that I had, he thanked me for my (humble compared to his) service.

A nice change from a warbird owner/pilot who on this forum called me a baby killer because I had served in the Air Force.

BTW I can see where Bud gave a great presentation.

Let you in on a secret...dont laugh Connie Bowlin...

Bud has deep PowerPoint expertise...to the point I wanted to take him on one of my consulting gigs...

Bud's a genuinely nice guy to meet.
I talk to Huie Lamb periodically.
