For what it's worth, in my experience;
age truly isn't everything.
Same as the teenagers, the elderly are hard to compare.
I was a very young (read immature) 18 year old when I started flying.
Have also met an 19 year old F-16 driver who was at the time the youngest pilot that ever soloed an F-16 at the age of 18.
Huge difference obviously.
On the other side of the age-scale same things apply.
You can be a very old or very young 70-year old.
Very active or vegative state, I've seen and experienced both.
May I remind you that Chuck Norris is currently 71 and can still open a can of whoop-@ss.................
