As far as age goes, I was going on 70 and still flying combat missions in a Blackhawk Helicopter in Iraq. My duty was a flight surgeon, but I flew every position including door guns so I may have been the oldest guy to fly a door gun in Iraq. Doctors can carry and fire weapons to protect themselves their crew and patients. so nothing illegal there. Age is just a state of mine, and even though I am now 71, I feel like 21 As the old saying goes if I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself. Jess
Wow. Thanks for everything Doc. That’s impressive.
I’m 45 next week. Scary to think about the age as a number but really don’t care. I’m in good shape. Ride about 1200 miles on my bike each year and just started backpacking. If all goes right, me and my son and some other scouts will do about 80 miles on the trail this summer.
State of mind.
Good for you! I have an uncle who just turned 94, and that tough old bird was driving himself to the hospital several times a week to do volunteer work until recently. Said it was finally time to “retire” and enjoy life.
Excellent...thank you.
