This guy has been a pilot for 40 years but apparently had daughters stil in school

[ddeclue]

according to CNN reporter interview with his wife.

The guy has to be in his 60's if he was an F4 pilot in 1973.

1. Gasp!

I heard his wife wears white after labor day!

[Sequoia]

2. We do that in California.

[JuniperLea]

6. Even the high end stores call it...

Winter White;)

[JuniperLea]

4. I heard she was a hot young flight attendant!

Blond, buxom, and half his age!!! Wooot!

[CatWoman]

22. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[JuniperLea]

3. He could have fathered kids in his 40's or 50's

Easily

[Sequoia]

12. Ole Bing Crosby was popping out kids when he was in his 60s

as I recall.

[JuniperLea]

15. Buh buh buh buh Bing!

Yes indeed! What a rascal;)

[hedgehog]

16. Umm, his wife was the one popping out kids.

guys generally pop out something else.....

[Sequoia]

44. For sure.

[H2O Man]

27. My grandfather

was 70 when he had his 14th child.

[WI_DEM]

33. Cary Grant became a father for the first time at age 62

[Kittycat]

5. And? Not everyone gets knocked up at 18.

Some people wait, meet the right person, take their time, and plan. Others get remarried. Just a thought.

[The_Casual_Observer]

7. He's 57. Very possible to still have kids in college.

[Dennis Donovan]

8. Only three years before mandatory retirement...

[ddeclue]

13. I thought they raised it to 65... time to go review my FAR's again..

Doug D.

[babylonsister]

20. I thought it was 60 also, but

just asked hubby (works for an airline) and he said he thinks it just changed to 65. :shrug:

[Dennis Donovan]

21. It so, it's a good change...

I've always failed to see what good it does the industry to retire its most experienced pilots.;)

[Gormy Cuss]

9. Also possible to still have kids in grade school.

It happens.

[The_Casual_Observer]

10. Sure, but VERY possible for college.

[wyldwolf]

11. It's a conspiracy.

[ebdarcy]

14. I'm sure his daughters are very relieved that he's ok.

[rvablue]

24. What you said...........geesh....... people are

really grabbing at straws with this one??????

:crazy: :wtf:

[Maru Kitteh]

25. most of the pilots I know first became pilots at 15-18. Add 40 years, 55-58.

You are shocked at the reaction you've gotten? That persons 55-58 with "children in school" is so G-D unusual?

Really?

[whistler162]

17. 57 I believe.. he has something like 3 years until

he is retired.

18. My mom is 59 and I'm in my early 20s.

She was in her 50s when I graduated high school.

[rufus dog]

19. my parents were 62 when I graduated HS

Happens quite a lot, typically one or both of the parents match your moniker. In my case it was admitted by my father in response to my saying it wasn't my fault he had eight kids.

[Maru Kitteh]

23. My dad was 50 the year I was born.

His experiences were very valuable to me and gave me a unique perspective not as readily accessible to most of my peers.

Should I have been terminated or my father forbidden to reproduce because of his age? Tres stupid.

[retread]

26. Arrest that man!! He broke the "no sex after 40" law!! n/t

[4lbs]

28. My parents were 35 and 33 years old when they had me. So, that makes them about 55 when I graduated

from college.

Maybe the pilot and his wife didn't have kids until around age 39. Or they could have multiple kids, the last of whom was born when they were that age.

[WolverineDG]

31. Could have been a "surprise!" baby too

who knows? anyway, nothing unusual about the pilot being 60 & having children still in school.

dg

[Vinca]

29. What's your point? It means his wife is young enough to produce

children or he's adopted children. Good for him.

[WolverineDG]

30. My parents were 52 when my youngest brother graduated high school

what's your point?

dg

[WI_DEM]

32. Oh Noes! What is this guy doing with kids still at home!

[MaineDem]

34. Why is this even being discussed?

And on GD-P no less?

[moc]

35. My husband is 52yo (I'm 46yo). Our younger child is 6yo, so he'll be 11 when dh is 57.

Why is this so amazing? Not everyone finishes having kids by the time they're 30yo. Indeed, some of us don't even START until after that, lol. Dh was 40yo when our dd was born. (First marriage and kids for both of us, btw, as another possible scenario is second family. My boss is ~63 and has a second wife 47yo and two daughters in that family, a 12yo and a 10yo.)

[Ikonoklast]

36. I heard somewhere that he wore shoes, too!

[ellacott]

37. Tony Randall and Larry King are asking...

What's the problem?

[Bucky]

41. If you want to know what the problem is

ask their poor paramours

[ellacott]

42. That's pretty clear

K

[Beacool]

38. He's 57.

My father was 55 when I was born. What's your point?

:shrug:

[Dr. Strange]

39. He's in his 60s and has kids?

It's a MIRACLE!

[kwassa]

40. I'm 56, and my daughter will be 2 in March.

[11 Bravo]

43. I'll be 58 next Wednesday. My youngest son is in 7th grade, and my oldest is a sophomore in HS.

It's a fucking miracle!

[Gormy Cuss]

45. Pretty funny, eh gramps?

According to the San Fran Chronicle, the pilot's wife rushed to remove her two kids from school, one in middle school. In the town where the pilot lives I'm sure there are lots of parents of school age kids who are in that age range. I shop in that town and I've seen plenty.

[Occam Bandage]

46. I have a cousin. She is two years old. Her father and mother are both over 50. nt
