Default OLDER PILOTS PERFORM BETTER, STUDY FINDS

Yup, those young pilots are bigger than me, better looking than me,
faster than me, stronger than me, scan better, have better vision,
better hearing, and multi task faster/better...
So, why are they the ones getting caught in weather, having icing
emergencies, skidding off taxiways, running out of fuel, crashing
their jet on final approach, busting the ADIZ, punching the DC TFR,
crashing into the ocean on a calm night, hitting apartment buildings,
and generally giving GA a bad name?

denny - older than dirt, slower than a snail, weaker than lite beer,
and still able to fly from point A to point B without any excitement
whatever...
