 I am currently building a Series 7 and started wondering if there are any other 

 builders located near Salt Lake City, Utah. Then I started wondering what the 

 general demographic of our group looked like (age wise). I figured this would 

 be a fun topic and I may get to now some of you better by putting it out there. 

 

 I will start with myself...I am 30 and have owned a Model III and am currently 

 building a Series 7 (almost finished with the Fuse). 

 

 If there are any of you that are located near Salt Lake City, Utah let me know, 

 I wouldn't mind some moral support/encouragement while building.

John Oakley, after all these years you are overflying Logan and not once have we met up.  I am about ready to do the valve check thing again.

 Darin, 

 I am in Idaho Falls, but am dating a professor from Weber state. (a girl) 

 She lives in Morgan, and I have been flying my speedster into the Morgan 

 county airstrip. Cool place, narrow canyon, next to airspace, nasty winds, 

 short approach,one way or so they say. I love it..will be there on the 

 coming holiday , holler if you want visitors.

I hope you're still flying at 90, Darin....I'm nearly 70, with a 5-way 

bypass in my history 5 yrs ago, and a family history to boot. Keep the 

cholesterol down, and keep taking those walks...are you listening D? 

(another D, Darin)

 This is a great list, isn't it?  I see that most of us are close to 

 the 60 year young mark.  Tell you the honest truth, I hope to still be 

 flying when I am 60 (heart disease runs in the family).  I guess I may 

 be one of the youngest on the list.



 Dave,



 You are in Huntsville?  That is only about 30 minutes from me, I am in 

 Kaysville.  Where are you based...Morgan or Ogden?  Are you building 

 or flying?  Feel free to reply off list if you want to.

John Kerr,  

I know it is silly , I have been to your airport many times and never a fox owner in sight. I know how to get to you hanger now.  But good grief the place has grown. I will be happy to loan you the tools again, no problem. By the way, have you seen your old buddy lately,(Larry) he still owes me coffee, hummm 7 years now. He may have to buy a breakfast roll to go with it now.

Larry and I still play golf 4-5 times a week when he is in town.  He just resigned as zoning administrator for Teton County which had him up there a couple of times each month for 3-4 days. But like this week he is up there for Fire Commission meetings today and some kind of family thing the rest of the week.

  

 Sometime when you are coming through let me know and I will meet you to get the tools from you.

  

 Thanks

OK, I hate to admit getting older, but I'm 62, a Kitfox pilot for 15 years, and have yet to do a ground loop (that is YET!).  I flew hang gliders, the very early ultralights, then got a license in a C170, most of the training was in a J-3, and owned a Maule.  I have logged 1.0 hours in a nose dragger, which taught me nothing about the correct way to take off and land.  They are evil, stay away from them, they will make you a lazy pilot!!!!!

Hi Mike,



Your story is almost exactly like mine, but I took all training in a C-170B 

that I partially owned, I have about 8 hours in a nose dragger and have 820 

hours on my Model IV in 8 years.  But, it took me three years longer 

overall.  No ground loops here either.

Nelson Goguen---76.  I passed my 3rd class Medical in April so the FAA has 

given me 2 more years to finish my vixen, now it's up to God to go along 

with that.  I'm almost finished but I'm working with a nephew who presents 

some good changes to the electrical system.  Will have two batteries and a 

additional alternator-no vacuum pump.

Nelson:



If you certify that Vixen with a gross weight of 1320

pounds, you could fly it as a sport pilot, and won't

need to have a medical.  Most likely you know this,

however, I want to make sure you are aware of this

option.

Thanks Jose,



I was aware of the 1320 option and that is my plan.  I want to get my 

private certificate for my own gratification and ego, then the sport pilot 

license before the next medical is due.  I'm probably the oldest student 

pilot on the list.  Indecently,  I don't know why the Mr. comes before my 

name when I post a message.  I sent an e-mail to Matt Dralle to eliminate 

that,  but I guess it did not work.



Fly safe,

Nelson
