Indeed, Danny. About 10 years ago I took my father for a flight in a CAP 10. At the time he was 83 and had not flown since he was 50. He has around 6000 hrs military flying on everything from Moths, Hurricanes, Spitfires, Meteors, Lincoln's, Hornets and Shacks. I have him the controls and he flew a short aerobatic sequence as though it was on rails.

After he said, "You have control. I took my glasses off and can't see the airfield".

His children are clubbing together to get him a flight in a Spitfire (his second favourite aircraft) for his 95th year.
