Default Accidents resulting from medical issues

I retired at 58 or 59, but I'm still flying at 70.Â* No end in sight.

The problem is that incapacitating events are only loosely correlated with
age.


My friend started asking me to be a safety pilot in his Mooney when he reached his mid 80s. After one flight, he said he would be away the following week. "I'm going skiing" he explained.

I flew for almost 40 years and always had said I would retire at 70, I did!! I do miss it but don't regret it.
