Schedules Old Geezer's proposal

[Ed Miller]

I agree, if you don't score the end box maneuvers you have SPA ( or
pre-turnaround AMA pattern classes ) with large, costly airplanes. Oh, if we
all could turn back the hands of time, but we cannot. With proper
prescription glasses I don't believe sight is an overwhelming issue, in fact
there are more than a few young flyers that require corrective lenses. Hand
to eye coordination times increase with age, however, like physical exercise
strengthens the body, flight simulators can reduce the aging process
effects. Fact of life, over time the younger, faster, stronger will beat
you. You did it when you were younger, faster and stronger than the "old
geezers" of your time. Being in the game, trying to remain competitive can
be far more rewarding. I think winning is not the top nor sole reason why
most of us compete, at least I hope not.
