This is so true. Another truth is that pilots peak at their flying skills
pretty early. I'm mid-forties and already accepted that my reaction time,
memory, capability to observe things, flying string centered all them time
etc. are all past prime, even when flying steady 100-200 hrs every single
year. Skill of pilot DOES NOT cumulate over decades. All you can improve is
the judgement and that includes recognizing that you could outland to a
dime 20 years ago after engine failing to start, and cannot do it anymore.


At least one non-pilot agrees! "A man's got to know his limitations." - Clint
Eastwood. I'm with Clint on this one. :-)
