Default RE: Does age have to do with what airplanes you fly?

If you fly by the rules, your club and the AMA, even when no one else is around. Then you have the judgement and maturity to handle any war bird you want......
After six years of flying you should have the skill to handle such airplanes...I said should......If all you have ever flown are trainer type airplanes.....maybe you should re think and gain some more skill....
However If you are doing aerobatics, flying inverted around the pattern, can see a stall coming, as I bet you can then go fly your warbird.....and the heck with what the peanut gallery is saying......
I however have never been in a club where a pilot was judged by his or her age but by abilllity......
My daughter is 15 and is treated as an equal at our club...

Good Luck
