It's important not to kid yourself that its easy. Remember that unlike driving, or sailing you can't just stop on a whim.... once you've left the tarmac it's up to you to get yourself back in one piece, nobody can do it for you. So great if you want to do it, but perhaps at the very least consider a suitably qualified safety pilot.
I am utterly speechless.
What a load of utter rubbish.
Edit: less speechless. I have flown with a couple of under 30s that I would not fly with again.
I cannot stand this generalisation attitude that us old fogies should relinquish our driving licences, stop flying, get help with anything we do, etc. It seems to me that competence at anything has very little to do with age, & younger persons have no business questioning competence solely based on age, certainly not at 70. How do accident figures stack up to age related? How do reported CAS busts stack up? Failed forced landings? Incompetent RT? etc.
