Born in 1953. Pretty good time as I see it. However I think I would have preferred 1918. While I recognize some of the drawbacks, I would have liked being in that time of developing aviation. I know it may sound crazy to many, but I wish I had flown during WW II. Then the great age of American post-war growth. I would have appreciated the birth of the space age better to include the lunar landing. I was just a few years off of really being able to appreciate that.
Would have been cool to have a beer with "the guys" at Poncho Barnes bar, right? Was really hoping we would see the same in the present day Mojave with Burt Rutan and the rest as they re-enact those days but with rockets.
Still may happen.
