Never Too Old To Fly

Posted by Zester Hatfield in AOPA Special Articles

An uncontrollable urge to flyBy Sarah BrownAt 71, Jim Chapman (left) and George Futas set out on one of their most ambitious flying adventures: a flight to the four corners of the United States. Seen here in Key West, Fla.

After a hiatus of nearly seven decades, Lt. Col. Maury Marler is back at the controls as pilot in command.

Marler, 91, first earned his pilot certificate in 1941 through the Civilian Pilot Training Program and flew for only a year before giving up flying to serve as a navigator in the Army Air Corps. He made a career in the navigator's seat but didn't start to yearn for the controls again until he moved to a retirement community in Renton, Wash., and heard the buzzing of small airplanes from the nearby airport.
