I need a hip replacement but haven't been to a doctor yet.   At Seventy I think I'll pass.

But I have a cousin who is 91 now and went skydiving over the Mojave Desert at the age of 72, so there is that.

I did a few jumps to try it out back in the mid-80s, but decided it wasn’t my thing.

The engines look larger than in 1952. Did they change them for more HP?

I had a co-worker who’s dad flew the hump. He still had his GI issued 1911. The co-worker donated it to a WWII museum.
