Hard to explain, but after a few sentences, that the feeling I got.

OK, I think his explanation not to sell it was to keep other pilots
from flying it was self-serving in a way that he thinks he's one of
the very few who can handle it (putting himself upon a pedestal) and
that his true reason is that he just can't justify the cost any longer
now that he has to pay for it out of his own pocket.

Well, I didn't get that from it. I don't think it's so much the flying it
par so much as it was getting old and the risk of someone getting it who
wasn't able for it killing themselves in it made him feel morally obliged
to do what he did.
That's just how I read it.
