I'm 40 and in the same situation : planning to start ab-initio training. 
Am I crazy ?

Its pretty good. To be at this level were things that were challenging are no longer an issue. Just great but you do get used and after a while its the same old same old.

What's this have to do with this thread? Point noted!
Mechanical instruments are to flying what the horse and buggy was to transportation on the ground.
For damn near $200 dry i'll still stick with mpic time on steam gauges though

Which will result in your being frozen in the past, however with that mindset you would be a shoo in for employment at TC.

The most difficult thing about flying is knowing when to say no.
After over a half a century of flying I can not remember even one trip that I refused to do that resulted in someone getting killed because of my decision not to fly.
