Average Age On the Forum?

Just Curious what the average age of the people on our site was I'm 23 and feel much more at home here than on the 170 site! Those guys are like trying to talk religion w/ the pope!

Marc,

Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous
But to an even greater degree than the sea,
it is terribly unforgiving of any
carelessness, incapacity, or neglect.

46 on the calendar. But probably 10 of those years have been spent either fishing or flying, so I'm really 36 (but sense of humor development was arrested at 13).

Ive come across this question on other sites. Its always asked by a young person. Im 50. Im sure computer saavy pilots are way younger on average than the average age of pilots as a whole.

I'm 58, but since my IQ is 66, I'm really 38.

37 here. But I'm betting most of us are younger than our planes, or nearly so.

Wow, I didn't realize how many of you are under 40. I took some dual from a guy last fall who was 80 years old!

My plane & I are comfortable with the age spread between us. 40 & 37. You choose which applies to whom :lol:

This June I'll be 29 for the 19th time. I like being 29. Airplane is 50 but acts like she's 18.

This is a damn depressing thread. I thought I'd be one of the youngsters... at 49 I guess I'm wrong again.
