Um ... 70+, Grand dad fixed night bombers in the 155 aero squadron in France near end of WWI. (he was great at woodworking). Dad flew P-38's in the Pacific also late in WII, 5th AF, 49th FG, 8th FS. I Rebelled, flew hang gliders 1971-1975 during and after my USAF service. Glad pops and dad were late in the wars .... has a lot to do with why I'm here today i suppose.
Any of you old timers fly hang gliders?
Would love to see bombers in Flying Circus - Would love to see P-38's in Cliffs of Dover Tubrok.
The poll is flawed.
Last year I was in the 50-60 bracket, but this year I'm in the 60-70 year bracket. But my vote hasn't been altered for that shift!.
◇ Principle skinner ◇
.
I'm already 2 brackets removed from what I put down originally.
If we only got that number in the poll online for a weekend...
This poll is almost 9 years old. So I would go with the <15 option.
