Plane Grounded For Having One Old Pilot Too Many

Martin : Night Air Mail Plane

In what seems like an April Fool's story, a plane was grounded in London for having both pilots being over 60 years old.  Apparently there is an international law that prohibits both pilots from being over 60, so the inspectors grounded the plane and made passengers wait 5 hours for a reserve pilot to be flown in.

I honestly could not believe that there's an international law restricting age like that.  I guess after seeing how old people drive cars, you can't really blame people for not wanting their plane flown by senior citizens.

File that under grounded geezers.

    Countries in the region allow pilots over 60 to fly aircraft, not even as old as in New Zealand. Does Vietnam waste this human resource?
