Hell, I'm 72 and fly an experimental helicopter which, because of my

soloed an ultralight helicopter where the only check out possible was to
get
the numbers for rpm and egt.
If they are going to put age limits on flying, they better start with
age
limits for people driving and especially driving those huge motor homes
just
a few feet from my car at closing velocities around 150mph and better.


Apples and oranges imo Stu-Kath.


It wouldn't be IMO. I have a much greater fear of getting creamed head on,
than dodging falling private aircraft.
