He can pin it on his wall or put it in his trophy case.
Again you show a need for some education.
There is no age limit on a FAA First Class Medical, never has been. My first job after my Seaboard furlough was with Capitol International, flying DC8s. The Chief Pilot at Capitol was the former seniorty #1 at Seaboard World that had retired at age 60. The check airman that Capitol used for training in the aircraft, not simulator, was a 62 year od retired PanAm pilot.
BTW UAL today has a number of Captains working in their Flight Test Department over the age of 60.
