Default Article: Older pilots crashing in disproportionate numbers

About 15 years ago I ran into a fellow at Oshkosh selling a beautiful
polished metal Cessna 170. It was his 80+ year old Dad's airplane.
They also had to take away his driving keys too. I asked which went
first - the ability to drive or to fly? He thought more than a bit
before stating that really it was his ability to drive.
