Well, I’m 79 and have flown RC planes for over 40 years.I now have a Spark and enjoy the hell out of it.
I'm 62...Learning the Spark has been fun. I was a prior Parrot Drone owner .

It’s not us guys that make us old, it’s the world around us. I still enjoy the same things I did as a child, the only difference is now I appreciate it more. I look at the same women, i savor the same foods, i still want to do the same things and more.
I still walk around in mixed company thinking I’m still the same Manny from my late 20’s early 30’s.
It really is the world that won’t let you forget.
64, and fighting it all the way.

Mike, you couldn’t be more right. I guess it’s the kid in me wanting to live forever. It flew by us. Like the Spark in Sportmode
lol
But hey, wisdom comes at a price. Bumps, scrapes, and hard knocks.
I’ll drink to that.
Cheers

Maybe we should start club and call it The Flying Duffers! I'm 70.
Hello Granny, I guess I am in good company. I am 82 years young, fly a Spark, several helicopters 250 to a 50 nitro, an also planes and gliders. Started in the mid 50s.

You know what they say: "The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys." Well, I see we have Granny in here, too, now. We're all kids at heart, especially if we still know how to play. I'm past 70 myself.
I only just turned 65 and I'm about to take the plunge with a Spark to add to my photo hobby, and to use for an upcoming 6 week vacation in Australia. One of my sons (26) flies Inspires & Phantom 4's for his work (lucky) so I'm hoping for some free training

I'm 66 and having a blast with my red Spark. And by the way, you have my dog.
I'm 69 and still a kid at heart! I began flying model planes when I was 7 years old. Started flying RC in 1971 (planes)and have had about everything RC related since. I got my first DJI drone 4 years ago and discovered how much fun it was to take pictures/video from above the ground. You might have to grow old, but you don't have to grow up!

It would be nice to know where folk live, but not many seem to add it to their info.
Anyone near me ?

What a great thread! I am about to hit 60 in May... and the Spark is my anticipated birthday present.... the wife let it slip so I don't go buying something before then. So glad that folks much more senior are getting out and flying. What a cool hobby.
According to this it would take quite a few batteries to reach you from my house:
How Far is it Between South Wales, Mountain Ash, Uk and Rockaway, Nj, Usa
It wouldn't let me enter Neath, so I'm hoping Mountain Ash isn't too far.......
