We had a crash at my local airport last year and the pilot (who walked away) was 72 years old.
The press came to the airport to interview some of us about the crash. The interview went something like this...
TV News Reporter: I understand the pilot was 72 years old and still flying. Is that normal?
Old Buzzard: It's perfectly normal to me. I'm 82 and fly every day.
TV News Reporter: CUT CUT !!!!
Hrmpf... fade into distance....
