  Are you speaking of birth age or Commander flying age?   I'm only 53 and a half and only started flying Commanders in 1978 -- so I'm not the oldest critter here in either respect.   I'm just a broth of a lad ...
   
  Mason, on the other hand, is ancient -- but looks terrific for his age.  So does his Mr. RPM 680-FLP.
  
 Happy birthday, Mason!

 Mason, Although I don`t know you, I want to wish you a very happy birthday. Anyone who loves or flys commanders has to be a good person. I fly a 680 and love it. I will be 67 in  Jan. and hope to be flying commanders until I am shot by a jealous husband when I am a 100. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Gil Walker Wingflyer1(at)aol.com

				1946 was an exceptional year as I turned 60 in April.  I read that the time spent flying is not deducted from one’s life span so the 300+ hours I spend each year in my 500S is going to extend my life span.  
    
 Happy birthday to Mason and a happy holidays to all on this web site.  I spent 11 years on the Single Commander site and now have 2.5 years on this site.  What a way to spend pleasurable time and learn at the same time.

 Hey Bilbo, come fly down here. We don’t put our pilots out to grass at 60. No point in stopping them when they have just about figured it out.

				Good Morning Nico,
 
 I am not currently flying a Commander but I regularly
 fly a Beech Model 18, a Piper Pacer, a Baron, my V35B
 Bonanza and my Stearman. 
 
 On my last birthday, I turned seventy-seven. 
 
 There is a fine young man in upstate New York named
 Johnny Miller who will be one hundred and one on
 December 15th of this year. 
 
 He was regularly flying his Bonanza (IFR and all) when
 he was ninety-nine. 
 
 John has not been able to get his physical passed for
 the last couple of years, but he is still an active
 flight instructor and does perform those functions
 which are legal to do with his present status.
 
 When I grow up I want to be just like Johnny Miller!
 
 Happy Skies,
 
 Old Bob
 AKA
 Bob Siegfried
 Ancient Aviator

 http://www.matronics.com/contribution[b]Well, I got to thinking about Jack Broome, but he is only 88.  
 http://aviationnow.com/avnow/news/channel_bca_story.jsp?id=news/mu2_0206.xml  
 John S. "Jack" Broome of Oxnard, Calif.-based Broome Ranches has been flying MU-2B aircraft for more than three decades, accumulating more than 2,700 flight hours in type. He first soloed in 1935, later became a military pilot and airline captain, and he served on the NBAA's board of directors for 20 years. He owned and operated Beech 18s for 27 years before buying his first MU-2B in 1973. He hasn't had an accident in 70 years of flying.  
 He has forceful opinions about the MU-2B allegedly being unsafe. "Going back years ago, folks said the same thing about the V-tail Bonanza, Learjets and Aerostars." He puts prime importance on being a competent, well-trained pilot. "People can get out of a Cessna 310, legally step into an MU-2B and say 'I don't need any training.' Then they get themselves into trouble." That results in accidents, which in turn, drive down resale prices and drive up insurance premiums.  
 "There are lots of good airplanes out there, but this one will do 300-plus knots on 80 gallons per hour. It will also slow down to 120 KIAS on approach. There's just no way to get into trouble with the airplane if you fly it by the numbers. For example, I don't use full flaps until I'm over the fence and slowing to final landing speed. I don't want any surprises; I'm too old for surprises," he said.  
 Broome insists on undergoing rigorous recurrent training and has high praise for Mitsubishi's Pilot Review of Proficiency (PROP) training program. "That makes the best pilots out of MU-2 pilots," he said.  
 A veteran pilot with thousands of hours in DC-3s, DC-4s and Beech 18s, Broome claims that each of those aircraft was considerably more difficult to fly than the MU-2B. "I've had 'memorable landings' in all those aircraft," he said, "but I've had no memorable landings in the MU-2."  
 He thinks the MU-2B is a "pussycat' and he wouldn't sell the aircraft unless he couldn't fly it. Now 88, Broome still flies his current MU-2B regularly.  
 Col. Frank Borman, the former Apollo astronaut, flew three models of MU-2B aircraft during a 15-year period, accumulating a total of 3,500 hours flight time.  
 "They run very, very well and they're most robust, built like military airplanes," he told B&CA. "It's a solid, honest airplane."  
 Borman said he underwent FlightSafety recurrent training yearly while operating the MU-2 and attended the Mitsubishi-sponsored, three-day PROP course. He believes other MU-2B pilots should do the same, but that most just don't get enough training. "If you're a relatively new multiengine pilot, if you lose an engine you'll have your hands full."  
 The Las Cruces, N.M., resident believes that the recent pressure from certain congressmen to force grounding of the aircraft is totally unwarranted. "I don't understand the criticisms of the aircraft. It went through two FAA certification procedures, plus the most extensive flight into known icing approval I can remember."

				Hi Nico & All,
   
  If you own a Commander and don't receive the  "Flight Levels" magazine, get in touch with Twin Commander. The format of the  mag has changed in last few years, but there's usually something of interest in  there.

				I find that "Flight Levels" is catered to turbines only,  with one or two adds for piston conversions.

  Bilbo;
   
  My 60th is what  introduced me to my Aero Commander.  It was one of the options I had to  continue flying, however, now I 'get' to pay for the fuel, but I also make  the schedules.  So I considered my glass "half full' rather  than half empty and it has been happy for me.  My grandkids think its  wonderful.
   
  Happy Birthday,  Mason
   
  By the way, I just  saw the movie "Second Hand Lions" and it is my preference for "GOING" however  not for awhile, but in the movie it said they were two old 90 year olds doing  accrobatics and having fun and dying with their boots on!  A great movie  that I would recommend, Michael Caine and Robert  Devall.

				Hi Jim,
 
 Great to get your email.
 
 By surprise Lou emailed a couple of days ago to tell me that his circumstances 
 have changed and has offered me first right of refusal on N711NE. He doesn't 
 want to let it go but at the same time wants it to go to a good home. He doesn't 
 want to sell it for a profit or even recoup what he has put into it.
 
 Lou tells me there is no corrosion...of course it isn't perfect but I guess it would 
 fit my needs well.
 
 Jim I need to ask for your help on trying to arrive at a seasonal/fair price for it.
 
 I know that you had a bit of a look at it...Lou doesn't know what to ask for 
 it...has (right engine) one engine on 1900hr but with good compression 78/80 
 all round. Lou has done a lot of work with replacinjg hydraulics upgradind to 
 stainless steel hoses and stuff. Left hand engine has 1000hrs. Props have been 
 overhauled and no longer have the AD requirement.
 
 Do you remember that the Troutdale one was under offer for about $90,000 at 
 the time we looked at it...had better engine times etc...but of course we know 
 about the wing warp and other bits.
 
 I will ring you soon to talk through were you think we should go. I just the 
 confidenc e of offering Lou a fair price based on market knowledge.
 
 Fond regards and hi to Sue
 
 Cheers
 
 Russell
