Title: How old is Gusty? Who does he inspire? Post by: K K Iyer on December 29, 2013, 11:43:36 PM I think he's about 75.
Jumping out of an airplane at 11,000 ft, and complaining about the rate of climb. So what if I'm older than him? So what if my GPL expired 30 years ago? So what if I still can't do 4 point rolls? So what if I'm only an 'intermediate' after 45 years in this hobby? Started golf last year. Started bodybuilding now (with 2 scoops of whey twice a day) Got to start on foot launch glider (already done in Switzerland) So who else has Gusty inspired? Gusty sir, One Steve Fossett set over a 100 aviation records, of which 60 still stand. Including round the world non stop in a balloon, a jet, and a boat. Title: Re: How old is Gusty?

(a) If at all i have inspired anyone, i am honestly honoured, because i feel if we can make a difference positively in anyone's life it is God gift to us, he has blessed us more than what we have bargained for. (b) Once you are forty you realise, it is time to tick off your bucket list as time starts to run out on you soon. (c) Looking forward to meet you this month end Title: Re: How old is Gusty?

Maybe 45, if not 40. Had a stroke one day after 45th birthday. Survived (and recovered from the paralysis) So making the best of Phase II. Dont want a wing suit, but desparately need 1 hr dual in a Piper Cub. And GPL renewal. Grateful to anyone who can organize that! |
