From Fighter Pilot Dreams to Air Marshal Glory

Long before he became an icon of healthy and positive ageing, P. V. Iyer was a young man with fire in his heart and the sky in his dreams. He joined the Indian Air Force in his early years and soared through the ranks with grit, discipline, and fearless dedication to the nation. Eventually, he retired as an Air Marshal—one of the highest honors in service.

His life in uniform was built on precision, courage, and resilience—qualities that still guide him even at 95 years young. For seniors looking for examples of vibrant ageing and for families seeking care for parents, his journey shows that age is never a barrier when the spirit is strong.

95 Years Young—and Still Soaring

Most people think of 95 as an age of slowing down. Not Air Marshal Iyer. While many of his peers enjoy quiet routines, he begins his mornings with workouts that can humble people half his age. Videos and social media posts shared by the Indian Air Force and his proud son show him stretching, exercising, and smiling with the radiance of someone who has never allowed a number to define him.

His secret? Not a miracle cure but the power of consistency, mental toughness, and love for life. For those exploring holistic health, senior fitness, or wellness tips for aging parents, his lifestyle is a masterclass in ageing with grace and grit.

“Fit at Any Age”: His Battle Plan for Timeless Health

Determined to share his mantra with the world, Air Marshal Iyer wrote the book Fit at Any Age—a guide for anyone who believes it’s “too late” to begin. Inside, he breaks down the principles that have kept him strong:

1. Move daily.

2. Eat mindfully.

3. Stay positive.

4. Never stop learning.

His message is electrifying: fitness is not about youth, it’s about choice. This philosophy echoes the belief that senior citizen benefits go far beyond pensions and healthcare—they lie in reclaiming health, confidence, and independence at every age.
