With age comes experience (generally). Some of the best ATCO's in the game are what you might term 'old' men and women. Eyesight issues are a non starter, medicals are still stringent, and don't forget Field glasses / bino's.
I am an old man, 2 years out of the seat, but still flying for fun quite happily and safely, and still sharp and fresh as I was 20 years ago. Age wearies not the mind!!
