This guy was like 69 years old and it's sure questionable how

to end.

Yea, damm 69 year olds have no business flying in the first place !


I won't be 69 for five more months. It seems that my 27 years as an air
carrier pilot, some 4,500 light aircraft time, and working with regs,
procedures, and current/next-generation terminal instrument procedures
design keeps me in the game, provided I have a safety pilot, of course.

Sounds like quite a career. It is good to see pilots flying at 60+
years of age. It gives us "youngsters" in our 40's some hope!
