Bought my PA-14 a month after I turned 65. Not looking back.

Welcome to the madness my friend. This is such a blast! Can't wait to see you out there and happy birthday!

Oh, and the guy who bought his PA on his 65th, you are my hero. Talkin to all these "young guys" some times makes me wonder if I got into this too late in life at 52 yro... NOT!

See you all out there!

You won't see me out on the ocean, Janine. It's a helluva drive from northern Utah -- and I know my limits, besides.

BTW, I'm pretty sure mine was the very first PA in Utah. There are now two of them, but still no Hobie dealers anywhere in the state. It's a genuinely overlooked market.

You are still my hero! Some time soon I will be moving to Flaggstaff Az. I am doing my best to catch a YT on my kayak, but you are right. I have been out there a few times now, and it is helping me realize my limits too!

I'm flattered and honored you should think so. I blush to say that I am in fact a certified hero - or was back in the day flying combat missions over Vietnam and Cambodia. Suffice it to say I've had my share of excitement. Google me and see, if you like.
