Hello all. I'm John or Jay, joined Silversurfers today 24th January. Feeling my way around, any tips greatly appreciated. I am almost 77 years old but like most people at this age I think a lot younger. My interests are nature of all types, crime novels, pets painting nature, humanities and flying. It would be nice to meet a few people. Best wishes. Jay

Hi John - I'm also a retired flyer. Just an ordinary ppl with some 500 hours. Last flew in 82 so very rusty now. I was widowed in 2016 and live at home with just the one son. Dont get around these days so just filling in time. - Regards, Brian.

Hi Sue
Thanks for your help. I have just responded to LindW and suggested that someone may help guide us to the correct zone.
I have flown only twice over the past two years due to covid. Hope to do a bit more soon.

Hi J
I found the easiest way to get to the chat zone is to click on the person's name (in blue) which takes you to their profile and then click on the chat icon..
I was given a flying lesson once as a birthday present. It was a great experience, you get such a different perspective on places from the air and a sense of freedom.

Hi Jay (I like that) I too am a new member 25rh January and finding my way around. I joined because I find this time of the year very hard, I live alone with my miniature poodle Poppy. I look forward to finding new interests on this site, I love walking, reading crime novels and doing crosswords. I can see you like flying, how long have you been a pilot and do you still fly?. I only fly as a passenger and its not my favourite thing to do though I couldn't calculate how many air miles I have travelled. Hope we both find something to take our interest.
Regards Linda

Hi Linda. I'm not sure this is a chat zone on Silversurfers. Hopefully Sally will guide us. Anyway it's nice to make your aquaintance. I can't remember exactly how I've been flying but over the past two years I have only manage a couple of times due to covid madness.
Maybe we can have a conversation in the correct zone next time.
Keep safe and best wishes
Jay

Hi John and welcome.
I thought I would break a record on Silversurfers and give a quick reply as replies seem to come at a slow pace on this site. It's easy to give up and then you miss people's responses, so check you have enabled email alerts.
You sound pretty active. Are you still flying?
