We had an FE here at FedEx that flew P-40s in WWII. (E.W.) He retired a few years back. He was close to 80 I think, might even have been 80.
BTW FO's and FE's perrFAA standards only need a 2nd class.
Some company's require 1st class but that is a company thing.
FO's who perform RFO (Cruise CAPT) duties require a 1st class.
