·90 years old and still piloting…. Impressive, most blokes that age won’t even fly as a passenger, in fact most of the poor old buggers probably couldn’t even climb into the plane!

·That crash was wild! Dude was nose-diving. Looks like he was either suddenly incapacitated at the controls or some sort of major flight control surface malfunction/failure. Maybe even suicide.
