Definitely lost the edge. Looking back, I reckon I got onto the wrong side of the drag curve, around 30, methinks....
Having to monitor my performance more and more closely as the years advance. Those check rides / medicals not as easy peezy as before.....
Given the choice/alternatives, I would bail out earlier rather than later.
Hate seeing a pro - soldier onto the bitter end, come hell or high water. Make room for the young thrusters - that's my feeling
