rich retired could hire young fit pilots to fly the toys this employs people, always a workaround.
wont see the airforce hire 74 year olds fly f16s f22s . maximum minimum with
them. some are taking it the wrong way really its for safer displays and skies.

Rich retired worked hard all their lives so they might have at least some fun....youngsters can wait their turn.

Military wont hire anybody, you either volunteer or are conscripted, you are booted out at retirement because it's the way of the world with civil/military service, they recruit young because you are expected to learn and grow quickly at minimum cost, there are fast jet pilots who still fly in military service right up to retirement age, there have even been cases of fast jet pilots continuing careers after major surgeries (RAF jaguar pilot had heart and lung transplant and continued flying....sadly killed in a midair caused by a light aircraft)

young pilots crash too....do you have 'any' and I mean 'any' proof that age is a problem in this case? like official medical studies on the subject, or is it just ageism on your part.
