Remember I started this thread as a counterpoint to old pilots dropping dead at the controls. That is an argument against raising the maximum age. This thread is to show that old pilots can also save the day. Also, as said at the beginning, young pilots can make some pretty bad mistakes and be just plane immature, killing themselves in the process. Haven't seen many older pilots do that.
Just food for thought. There is always two sides to any argument. Personally I would rather be in an airplane flown by a highly experienced 59 year old when the chips are down than in one flown by a 29 or 39 year old.
