You will have some advantages because of your "historical" vantage
point
(don't take it badly ;-)). As systems always evolve, what we do today
is
directly derived from what we did yesterday, so you will easily grasp
some
concepts that the young whippersnappers have difficulty wrapping their
minds around. Of course, there will be entirely new concepts to learn -
like RNP, or ADS-b, but the learning was always part of the
satisfaction
in
flying.

Don't forget Class A, Class C, Class D, etc My dad is just now
getting
to the point he doesn't refer to airspace using pre-1990 terms

Sectionals are a bit more cluttered than they used to be. Literally; I
was just comparing the current San Francisco sectional with one dated
July 1976.

At least the lumpy bits on the ground haven't changed too much.

Different clutter. Fewer airports. ;^(
