Re the age question, I don't do the age thing and use two examples to support that view.
1) At the Gliding Club I belonged to we had a glider pilot who went solo at 84
2) I like to read the obituaries in the paper as you find the most amazing stories about people you would never have heard about. My favourite was a Colonel from ww2 who started the war as a Sgt which we will all agree was special even in war time. He made the rank due to outstanding service, medals for valour and being wounded I think twice but that isn't why he is my favourite. After the war petrol rationing was tight and he bought himself a bicycle which he rode every day. When he was 90 his friends decided it was time to buy him a new bike as his old one was well past it's best. Impressive you will agree but it isn't the reason he is my top choice.
When he was 92, the police stopped him for taking a lady friend home on the cross bar, whilst under the influence. That is why he is my favourite. If I am even thinking of taking a lady friend home at the age of 92 I would be well satisfied.

Perhaps it is because I have more time on my hands now, at 77, and with failing body, but I find I am more sexual ... aware ... tuned ... appreciative ... curious ... honest ... NOW ... than I ever have been in my entire life. I'm not complaining, but It is ironic.

Rudi Opitz (of ME163 test pilot renown) was still teaching soaring in his 90s. I had the privilege of "checking him out" (to satisfy insurance) in one of our club ships. Boy did I get a checkout! It was supposed to be "once around the pattern", but Rudi detected a little nibble of wave and hopped off tow at 1500 AGL, and we climbed to 17.5K MSL, spun our way back down, and were back on the field in 31 minutes. I couldn't get him to sign my logbook, but I had to sign his. Talk about a humbling experience!

The solution seems to be 'buy a bike'
Had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with Opitz all by myself when he signed 100 or so of my lithos. Got to admit we talked more than signed stuff. Still value this as one of my top ten life experiences.
Don't forget that he also was one of the glider pilots to land on the roof of Eben Emael (sp?) !
Mine has an expiration date...should I be worried?
Birth certificates are always issued with an expiration date, but it's classified information, and we're not cleared for that level.Mine has an expiration date...should I be worried?
Ahah! Another thing the Illuminaty/Rothebergs/Flat Earthers/911 Conspirators/and Templars are hiding from us! Where's my tin foil hat?!!
There's the Party Members, and then there's us Proles. Thoughtcrime is everywhere and we are all guilty.

You want girls? Go look at porn! 
Now that's what I call quality line service! "Fuel, oil, galley service, or personal service, Sir?"
PS: They don't make a finer floatplane than the Helio Courier, only the DHC Beaver comes close.
