I dig the old planes, but I won't be going to any air shows. The pilot was what, 80? I hope to be active at that age but maybe it's wise to know one's limits.

I think that you should give the NTSB a call. Since you have it all figured out, it sure would save us a lot of taxpayer money in doing a COMPLETE investigation.
You sir, have no idea what you're talking about. On several fronts, he is safer in that plane than many people are when driving down the road.
First of all, in order to fly he goes through a medical exam that many young people couldn't pass. Second of all, since it's obvious that you've never taken the controls of an airplane, experience, known as flight time is EVERYTHING in flying. Give me a healthy, high time 76 year old at the controls over a young, low time pilot ANY time!!!!!!!!!
There was, and I think she's even still alive, a high time flight instructor in Tennessee that was flying and teaching at the age of 100. In flying, flight time is EVERYTHING!
