Yep, similar mindset. A bit over 25,000 hours, 425 carrier landings, a love of the freedom while flying light aircraft, and I’ve had enough. The risk and expense and the hassle aren’t worth it anymore. I’ve put enormous effort into doing it right, have never gotten a “down” in military training, never failed a checkride or line check, and it’s time to quit while I can look back at a satisfying career without regret.
There really isn’t anything “new” that I’m going to experience or see in the air in my remaining lifetime. I am enjoying lovely endeavors where I am not bothered, there are few accidents, and the return on investment is far greater.
