At 38 I doubt JTV knows much about flying either and based on the comment, I'd say he simply doesn't know what it's like to be in his 60s. But look on the bright side, his generation isn't expected to live as long as us so I doubt he'll live long enough to experience his 60s.
Me? I'm going to buy an aeroplane when I retire so I can throw rocks at it or maybe set it on fire.
