This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Happy Birthday My Friend! Hope all is well. Heck, you haven't even started the back nine yet.
You are as old as you let yourself be!

I'm 57 and start my primary flight training, all stick and rudder next week.
I'm as old as my avitar shows.

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday!
My official birthday was 18 August, but business travel put off the party until 23 August. You can add me to the list of not really famous aviators partying today.
Jenny/867-5309 was originally done by Tommy Twotone (sp?).
I prefer to refer to this year as the 17th anniversary of my 39th birthday.
