Date men from United States / Alabama / Fairhope, 69 year old

Date single man from United States. Approachable, intelligent, urbane, affectionate, athletic, flexible, adventurous, responsible, monogamous non-smoker with a WORLDWIDE lifestyle seeks LTR. Open to long distance contacts. PLEASE appreciate that my profile is candid.
I am a retired airline pilot from an American flag supplemental airline (see pictures). In pursuing my dream of an aviation career, I never groveled in a ho-hum nine-to-five job merely to earn a living. Instead, starting with the Piper Cub, I have risen to flying commercial jet transport aircraft over the major trade routes of the world. I have a practical, hands-on, no-nonsense, approach to life. It's part of my job description.
In the larger sense though, the high standards and demands of my work do not entirely define me. Now my time is my own which I am supplementing to include a more domestic life. Though my formal education is in engineering, I have liberal and cosmopolitan values gained from both real-life experience and private scholarship and a compelling interest in all the Sciences, Arts and Letters. From astrophysics to daffodils, my curiosity about and empathy for the world extends to just about everything. I brake for wildlife. My present major professional interest is a developmental aviation company.
My personal interests start with AGGRESSIVELY maintaining optimal health and include mixing in polite society through social dancing. I am an occasional dancesport athlete (see pictures and dance credentials below). I have a basic formal culinary training and enjoy cooking and baking a world-travel-inspired healthy vegan cuisine.
I own, operate and sometimes live aboard a custom-built ocean sailing boat (see pictures). I cruise approximately three thousand miles per year, mostly in remote areas where the SCUBA diving is pristine. I fly a variety of aircraft (see pictures). I am a member of MENSA and the Memphis Mountaineers. I participate in climbs several times per year. I am a recreational skier. I participate casually in most popular individual sports.
Dance Credentials:
American Style NDCA Full Bronze Medal (eight dances) I am trained to a social level in the remaining six dances. International Style ISTD Bronze Certificates (three dances). I am familiar with most novelty dances popular in the USA and Europe.
I hope reading my profile ignites sparks of excitement, adventure and challenge in you. Instead of a protracted list of boring similarities, HONESTY, an ADVENTURE MINDSET and AVAILABILITY are my primary requisites because to me, diversity is sexy and life IS adventure. I also feel a shopping list of superficial Barbie Doll physical attributes would be shallow and is notably missing below. I do not care if your passport picture does not do you justice as long as you have or can get one, you are not persona-non-grata in any of my favorite countries and you reside on Planet Earth. On the other hand, qualities of personal character and demeanor are auspicatory. Please be here for the right reasons. You may depend upon my reciprocation.
PLEASE be: sincere, direct, decorous, discerning, deportment and netiquette savvy, in CONTROL of your life with a grammatical, coherent, illustrative, credible profile, picture and SIGNED correspondence (your FIRST NAME is fine).
PLEASE, spare me the deal breakers:
NO UNAVAILABLES! NO TROLLERS!
NO ADDICTIVES: trustees of modern chemistry, tobacco, alcohol, food, religion or similar pitiables
But if, like me, you are normal, that would be nice!
