Yep, I had one of those.
Very knowledgeable and with plenty of energy and zeal for flying.
But, the wisdom is lacking - that takes years. They say a pilot’s license is not a license to fly, but a license to continue learning.
I recall as a student with this instructor getting caught by bad weather and scud running. In the days before GPS’s, we “swooped” over a highway to try and read the sign from above to know where we were, and to figure out what direction to go in.
We were ‘IFR’, “I Follow Roads”.

24 yr old flight instructor. Think I see the problem. No, you don't. When I was 24 years old I was repairing some of the most sophisticated aircraft in the world (at the time), some of them loaded with nuclear weapons. And he may have been flying since he was 16.

Younguns think 67 means you’re about to die, even if you are still quite active.

Mine. This is the second small plane crash here in about a year, the first one was a single plane crashing into a house about three miles from my home.
There are three small-plane airports in the county and one “international”, so private planes are always in the sky here.

Flight instructors who are 24 years old. The Federal Aviation Adminstration measures experience by flight hours. Often young polits perform flight instruction to build flight hours. I would need to know more details on this event.

Low wing vs High wing aircraft. They never saw each other.
