I did a quick search, hope it isn't a repost. So waht do you think... Is he like the oldest person alive? Beating that French woman by a considerable margin, AFAIC.

He used to be a clarinet player with the Jaipur state band and official records show him being born on 20 May, 1878.

Would osmeone that old be able to withstand a plane ride for a few hours? I guess its possible. My grandfather travelled by plane (Coach too) from India to Canada when he was 81 yrs-old without any special services or anything. Even walked around Heathrow while waiting for his connecting flight.

Scary enough though, this guy is about FIFTY years older than your grandfather was.
 
81 isnt that old. My grampa is 82 and he works three days a week, driving 200+ miles some weeks. Age is relative.
