“As a young person involved in aviation, there is nothing more dangerous than old geezers piloting aircraft. These assholes are a danger to everyone around them.”
I am 71 years old and a flight instructor. I am a safer pilot today than when I was young. I know my limitations that I did not know when I was young.
The day will come in the next few years that younger instructors will come to me and say it is time to “hang it up.” I will then just get in the front seat and let one of the students I taught to fly be my safety pilot and never instruct again. I will just fly.
