They ever heard of flying commercial? How about Amtrak? Shocking an 80 year old would have an attack while driving/flying.

I don't disagree, but still pretty amazing she could land that thing in 1 piece for the most part.

I am fairly certain that once you reach a certain age as a pilot that they have to take a yearly physical to keep their liscense.
