Frazz by Jef Mallett for February 02, 2014
Transcript:
Mr. Spaetzle: Remember the saying, Caulfield: "There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots." Frazz: Pick up some free advice? Caulfield: And a long-term plan. 1) Stay healthy and get rich. 2) Remain that way until I'm old. 3) Earn my pilot's license, buy a plane and boldly prove the saying bogus! Frazz: That is a remarkably rational plan to mock the system. Caulfield: Remember I'm eight and think 30 is ancient.

I also thought of “Secondhand Lions”, loved that movie! Just don’t try flying through the barn and you’ll be alright.

Doug Gregory was, until last year, a stunt pilot – certainly very bold. When he retired, he was 90 years old.
I’d say that qualifies him as an old, bold pilot.
