How much older is your plane?

I stole this idea from N6EA...

How much older is your plane than you?

My '65 Musketeer is 6 years older.

I'm a year younger than our oldest Aircraft, 99 years between us. I'm what's called here, an "Oldfart".

Yeah, they are certified in the US, though there aren't any currently registered there. There is one in Europe though. Hands down one of the nicest aircraft I've flown yet, though thats not saying too much... If only it carried just a bit more fuel. :roll:

Dean is that a Canuck in your avatar? If so is it Taylorcraft/Auster based?

Yes thats the Canuck in my avatar... and no it isn't supposedly based on the Taylorcraft, but there are enough similarities to make one wonder a bit. The Canuck has shorter wings and a beefier airframe and will take a ton of abuse.

My wife is the same age as me and “The Other Women” is 21 years older than me. And can you believe my wife is jealous of “The Other Women?” :shock:

My wife always knew I liked “Older Women.” I think my wife either has grown to like her or just accepts the fact that “The Other Women” is here to stay. 8)

SweetieSky

Now and then I call my wife "Sweetiepie." Among other things, most of them less kind, my wife calls my airplane an "aluminum mistress."

The name came to me in a dream one night. SweetieSky was such a natural and beautiful name, and a good cover in case I talked in my sleep.
