Ha yea, I was surprised myself when I googled to confirm. All the grunge era guys are pushing 60 now but there's something about when your favorite artists start hitting that social security age it hits much harder I think

He was young, cool, edgy and rebellious

Yea I mean we literally come out with one new combat plane per decade at this point, and the ones we use the most are still from the 70's.
80's- F-117 stealth fighter
90's- B-2 stealth bomber
00's- F-22 fighter
10's- F-35 JSF
Am I missing any? I mean I wouldn't trust anything new from Boeing at this point anyway.

You are missing the navy's F18 and the A-10 (it is in the process of being retired but there still some left in the reserves.

The F117 was retired in 2008. Also it was not a fighter. It was a ground attack bomber. (The AF called it a fighter because it was a single seat aircraft)

I meant those are the only ones that were introduced since the 70's

I'll hit 50 in a few months and the least year or two for me have been eye-openers. Try to do the things you used to do and think you should be able to do....and your body fights you tooth and nail. I mean I'm not in the worlds best shape or anything but still. That wall is real.

My eye opener was when I went to the Dr for a stuffy nose. The look of concern when she listened to my lungs as she asked my age rattled me. IDK why everyone complains so much about aches tho. I count myself lucky.

I was already too old for this at the time

KWL - cool g2g - good to go

If you think about it, that got us to adapt acronyms and created emojis that are so common now. Pioneers we were.

I was nearing the end of my first westpac and my then wife recorded the first few episodes for me. What a homecoming!
Correction: we were coming back from a deployment to the North Pacific. That ship stayed underway more than any ship I ever served on.
