In response to your question regarding learning to fly after 50...I will be 65 in August. Soloed my Aeronca Chief 30 days ago...I flew some in the early 60's but gave it up to raise family....Went to Sun N Fun Show in Florida last year and bought a Aeronca Chief (1946 two-place taildragger) I will do 1st cross country solo this week....The tail dragger or Conventional Gear aircraft require much more piloting skills than the tri-gear types( Cessna 150's 172's etc. I dont have to take a back seat to any of the pilots that learned on the tri-gear types and fly around with their feet on the floor (no rudder) flying from point to point watch two needles on the Omni's...Go for it and dont worry about your age...By the way.
