She may be a late bloomer, but 94-year-old Helen Kuhn is anything but a wallflower.

After getting married for the first time at the age of 60, one year later she took another brave leap and got her pilot's license.

These days, she's still one amazing aviator.

She talked to Growing Bolder about becoming instrument rated -- the hardest rating in aviation -- when she was nearly 70 and why she loves to soar above the ground.
