It is pure vanity to not except that you have to step down when the time has come.
Seriously, maybe YOU should think twice before posting a comment.

as long as you have a good insurance I won't mind
In order to fly such aeroplanes you need to pass serious medical tests, not like your driver license, and often it's the pilot himself that reckons he's too old to carry on.
For your information, in view of his advancing age, the pilot just sold the plane, he was doing his last performance with it (the P-51 was bound to Germany after Legends), and once again, it wasn't his fault,
he acted according to the briefing.
You might have heard of Bob Hoover, Chuck Yeager and Clarence Bud Anderson, they all flew Mustangs well into their 70s and never had a problem.
I'm afraid that your assumptions are completely biased.
