Who's side are you on? If only yours, why might you be against 65+ ? :confused:
I don’t feel the average guy can be assured of having the cognitive ability to fly past 65. They will be able to pass a check ride but difficult situation could be a issue. It’s kind of like train to proficiency. You can train anyone to eventually pass a checkride. As the military has proven many times if you train someone to proficiency who falls outside the normal training footprint they are going to be a problem until they kill themselves or someone else.

I'd say a few folks care very much what the Japanese are doing. Refitting two helicopter cruisers to now carry the F-35 around the Eastern Pacific has raised a few eyebrows.
Seriously? Lol

I watched his show on 3 different occasions. I am sure he was average. Most guys can shutdown both engines on a aero commander and do a loop into the deadstick landing. Nothing more average or easier!

Well...you asked if he was an average guy. Not if he was an average aviator. :)

Hoover was friendly to everyone; approachable, almost humble.
Some of the other famous aviators.....weren’t.
