Light ac flying as a FI would keep you busy. There is a desperate shortage of experienced pilots.
ATCOs in "retirement" often end up at FTEJEREZ at the ATC training school.
A cautionary note: attempting to start training ( as an instructor EASA SFI qualification ) for the first time at retirement age has / can prove to be unsuccessful. An expensive car crash.
Something about old dogs and new tricks springs to mind.....?
I know an ATCO who, on retirement, became an AFI 'for relaxation'!
