My own father qualified as a Cessna Citation jet single pilot..... at 73!

I gave a bi-annual to a guy who was 80 one time. He was an ex-747 captian, and I worked him pretty hard to see if he would ge confused or behind the curve, but he did just great. He had this little plastic kneeboard checklist and anything that I had him do he had a checklist in there and could pull it up and do it in seconds. He was a little totering physically, but he had a valid medical, and could fly the airplane, so I signed him off.
