I'm 76 and would not want to ride in the cabin of an old airplane with an old captain.

I felt the age 60 retirement rule (which was still in effect when I elected to retire at 54) was medically a good, conservative rule.

No matter what anyone says as a general rule the chances of a heart attack or stroke increases materially beyond age 70 or so.

Also, someone mentioned that the gentleman should have been home asleep. I strongly agree with that based on my personal experience.

I have also found it best not to drive at night other than on a short, local trip. As you get older the eyes have far more difficulty at night even though vision is good during the day.

Just one OF's considered opinion.
