NEVER TOO OLD:
September 29, 2007
81-YEAR-OLD MONTANA PILOT BUILDING AN AIRPLANE
If you find yourself thinking that you're too old to learn
to fly, or get an instrument rating, or finish that
commercial certificate, or (fill in the blank), then take a
lesson from Frank Bretz. The 81-year-old Missoula, Mont.,
pilot not only got an instrument rating when he was 80, but
is also building a Vans RV-9A. According to a report in the
Missoulian, Bretz bought the kit and started building in
March 2003. Build times are interrupted by winters spent in
Arizona, but Bretz says he isn't in a hurry to finish
because he is doing what he loves to do.
