Ultra long haul at 70 sounds like hell, but smacking around regional space & time sounds appealing. Right now, I'm barrelling around at low level at high speed because there is no one else crazy enough to do the job. As much fun now as when I did it in camo 40 years ago. Age is a personal thing.
You sound like a real pilot!

But watch out, because of
Objective Justifications. Of which preservation of dignity forms a part
The Nanny State (and I won't 'advertise' this time!) wants to take away your right to chose your own 'indignity' as the Nanny State considers that
... some people need saving from themselves.
But then there are some countries, and you appear to live in one, that are grown up enough to let people choose their own indignities without the interference of so-called 'Objective Justifications'.

However, the reality is that "Age is personal, it depends on the individual." State imposed bans at a certain number is an aberration of nature.
