记叙文

个人情况

世界上最老的飞行员退役了，曾经飞行了49年，飞行时间超过10000小时的飞行员最终要离开他深爱的飞行事业。

The world's oldest active fighter pilot, a grandfather of four, has retired and taken his last flight at the age of 66. Phillip Frawley of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) has served for 49 years. He took his final flight last month and has officially stepped down.

"It's been a special day but all things come to an end—that's what's happened to me today," Frawley said in the statement. "It has been wonderful, absolutely wonderful." He has been the oldest active fighter pilot for years now since the last record holder, a 60-year-old Israeli F-16 pilot. His retirement marks the end of a long and colorful career, which has added up to more than 10,000 hours of flying, 6,000 of those flying fighters.

Frawley first began as an RAAF apprentice in 1969 and worked his way up to become a fighter pilot, instructor, and commanding officer. He even spent five years serving in Saudi Arabia. He first flew the Hercules transport aircraft, before successfully applying to train on fighters. Afterward, he flew a range of fighter jets, including Mirages, Macchis, and F/A-18 Hornets. Frawley watched the RAAF change over the years.

However, most meaningful was his time as an instructor, Frawley said. He has helped train almost 500 Air Combat Group pilots throughout his service, and he says it was "probably my best achievement". He took his final flight on June 29 in a 76 Squadron Hawk 127 Lead-in-fighter, with his friends and family members present. However, just because he's taken his last flight, it doesn't mean he's done with his active lifestyle.
