Default Still FLying at 90...A Flying Giant to me..

I just posted this on the probro website but I figure I'd share over here as well. After all how many guys do you know that is still flying RC at 90 years old.

I'll be lucky to be upright even at 60.

This past Sat he turned 90 and all the family got together to celebrate. We started the day out going flying and ended it with a party.

He doesn't fly Giant Extra's, Edges or yaks but to me he's about the biggest flying giant I'll ever know.

Here he is with his 200% Scale Kadet he scratch built a few years ago.
His name is Victor Wendt.

The other is him and I at the flying field this past Sat.
