Yeah, but when you're old time goes faster so it seemed
like a lot less :-)

Alas there are too many guys who keep flying planes that
aren't slowing down any, but they are slowing down a LOT.
Saw an example in an old gent in a Bonanza yesterday, who
was clearly well behind the action and nearly took out a CAP
Skyhawk in the pattern.  There is sometimes good reason for
a binding second opinion...  ...octogenarians are some of the
best, sharpest, wisest pilots going. And some of them are
among the most dangerous.
