Los Altos resident Dave Bridges has had a lifelong fascination with airplanes, from building model planes in high school into retirement â including the radio-controlled variety â to becoming a flight instructor in the U.S. Army Air Corps, to a 37-year career flying for Pan American World Airways. Even now, at 100 years old, when he sees jets flying overhead, he muses, âOh, I wish I could be up there and do it again.â
Bridges survived prostate cancer 30 years ago, a bad leg break more than a decade ago and, last November, COVID-19.
Through it all, he has remained philosophical and gracious. Heâs even learned to say âthank youâ in 11 different languages.

Cubans Deserve Their Freedom
This week, brave, freedom-loving Cubans started to take on their oppressive regime in Cuba – and are demanding an end to six decades of communist tyranny.
