Not sure I would get on a small plane with only 1 pilot if that pilot was 80 years old. Even if the pilot was my grandfather.
But he had 50 years of experience. /s
Only flown once in a small plane. About an hour flight same day back and forth. 10 seater with 2 pilots Wasn’t completely full 8 passengers. We were seated to balance the plane. No problems and the weather was good. Going back was at night. I wasn’t too nervous but I did feel a bit more vulnerable than I would in a larger commercial plane. The pilots weren’t 80 that’s for sure.
