There are a lot of Pilots of all ages I would never let my children ride with....in any situation.
Age itself is not the issue....but fitness is what counts.
The Nanny State mindset of Sixty and out ignores reality.
I lost my Medical at age 58.....and probably should have a bit earlier.
TC.....show us the Accident Stats that PROVE older pilots have a higher rate of involvement in accidents where their age/Incapacitation was the direct cause.
