Counterpoint - they were from the most bigoted, racist, sexist generation to still walk the earth.

Counter-counterpoint - They'll be saying that about us in 70 years.

. . .and comparatively speaking, I would be inclined to believe it would not be sure.

I soloed at 16 and I'm still here 20 years later. Holy crap 20 years.. Like anything else it depends on the individual. There are plenty of 17 yr old pilots I'd trust over some 45 yr old 2000 hr pilots I've seen.

Precisely. Mautrity does not corelate with age. But the average, present day teenager usually needs some sizzling time

Just awful. Also interesting that this news outlet chose to classify a 20-year old pilot as a "young pilot" in the headline.

Let's see... pilot was 20, plane was 52. Which was old??

Yeah. Good pilots are like good steaks... they should be seared on the outside but still bloody in the middle.
