The article's premise is based on the fact that older pilots have more
accidents, considering how many older pilots are vs younger pilots.

Actually: who cares?

The numbers are so insignificant when compared to hundred of other ways to
die... or be killed by someone else.

About the same number as drowning and boating accidents.

1/10th the number of pedestrians killed.

About 1/20th the number of people shot.

About 1/25th of the number of people who die from plain old falls.

Less than the number of bicyclists killed.

Cops kill nearly half as many people as GA aircraft do.

Hell, some estimates have DOCTORS (and legal drugs) killing more than 10
times the number of people that GA does, just by their mistakes.


So I can think of many more probably ways to die other than being killed as
.... or by ... an aging pilot.
