      I wouldn’t mind, as long as the plane flies again.

      It’s a true marvel of engineering.

         Not a trick to make an old plane fly again. The trick is holding it together and landing it.

         I would imagine the problem they have with the 70 year olds they’re trying to recruit is that there are old pilots and bold pilots but well, you know the rest.

            OTOH, a pilot in their 70’s can be bold and still die of old age.

               Sorry, “the rest” is literally “there are no old, bold pilots.”
