With little details known about the Age 4/Ultimate Gundam/whatever, think it is possible it incorporates some of the technology that was locked up in the Exa-DB which the Age System of course improves upon( this also assumes the Diva will obtain the Exa-DB, etc)?

Really? The same aged Flit who was able to jump out of a moving aircraft onto a moving tank from a pretty hefty height without any real issue--the same aged Flit who piloted the G-Cepter into battle to aid his grandson?
While it's possible that he'll lose to Fram, there's no way in hell that it's because he's suddenly lost his touch at fighting.

You're forgetting he is SEVENTY years old. No matter how fit the old geezer is he can't keep up with a 20 year old. Pilots can be compared with elite athletes, and the difference between a 25 year old and a 35 year old of similar skill is quite large. Nobody can beat time, and even the greatest eventually become weak, it's the law of nature. That's unless you go into cold sleep, which flit clearly hasn't.

He's closer to 60 (He's sixty-four; ignore the opening narration, it rounds the total amount of time that's passed since the story's beginning to 70 years for some weird reason), but yeah. Anyway, that might be true for most things that require athleticism, but I don't see any reason why Flit can't keep up when he's not using his own body but fighting inside a robot... I'm not even sure they're of similar skill levels to begin with. Flit's skill as a Gundam pilot is prodigious, I don't think there's anything to indicate that Fram is his equal in Gundam warfare.

If it is anything like irl, as long as he passes a physical he can still pilot. There are some generals that maintain their flight status, but performance wise advanced age will always have a negative effect.
