Well Stella, what do you expect from someone

Lou

A Ramsey condom? Yep, you're a dumb ass.

But not to worry, it's not too late.You and Stella can still answer him
directly and fill this thread out to 200 or 300 posts as usual.

Arguing the fine points of yanking the medical of thousands of healthy
pilots, just because of their age, could make a really nice fire that would
undoubtedly burn for days.

So by all means, have at it.

You really couldn't be this stupid, could you?

It will be higher next year.

Anthony, there's no cut-off for you, since you don't have a medical and
never will. Don't worry about the rest of us who actually do fly.

I think the cutoff should be greater than the oldest POTUS candidate....
After all, suppose he wants to save us money and fly N28000 himself?

Recently a 72 yo went blind in flight (stroke?) and safely landed in the
drink in FL. Several comments were that age should be considered in
keeping your PPL. I can see this makes sense /but/ it would prolly be
illegal.

Too old? If so, at what age do you place the cutoff?

Steve Wittman went up and did an airshow for his guests at his 90'th
birthday party.

Don't overlook the really firm medical cutoff that does exist for non
solo PIC. I think it's 16, but could be wrong.

There have been people in their 90s with commercial certificates. I know
someone who taught after he retired well into his 80s and continued to fly
into his 90s.
Then there's Bob Hoover and Duane Cole...
