What’s the average age of a general aviation pilot these days? I bet it is creeping up quite a bit as all the regulations have made it too expensive for younger people to get licensed or buy planes.
I remember about 8 years or so ago when a pilot had a heart attack while approaching Santa Monica airport and the plane crashed into an apartment complex... burned down the whole block.
My first thought was elderly pilot. Even if not, what are the health regs/checkups for people flying bove our heads?
