I'm 73, soon to be 74. I think I have the record so far. Any of you  

younger dudes want to trade with me?

Will be 41 on 911.  Since 2001, this day is not as

happy as it used to be...

Is someone taking note of our ages to average it?

Gosh, when I think that, three years ago, when I started flying at 55, 

I thought: My father was retired from the Belgium air force at 50, I 

might already be too old to fly. Nice to see that ... I am only a kid 

compared to some of us. It means: Possibly still many years ahead of 

flying pleasure!



Cheers,

Michel

Michel and all,



I tallied up the responses so far and here are the results:



Average age: 56.8 years

Youngest: 30 years (thats me)

Oldest: 85 years



I gotta do something at work to keep me entertained

Michel,



I knew a man in Livermore, just west of here that at age 80 designed , built 

and flew a 5/8th  scale P-38.  Because of engine choice and HP through the 

prop it's perfromance was a disappointment.  He then started another 

project.  He has been my inspiration.

Just checked my  drivers license. 

 Been here 44  years.

 Own a 912UL  powered Model 3 with Model 4 wing taildragger.

 Fly with the  doors off all summer long.

 Installed a  cargo pod which proved to be very useful.

 Fly off a  private 1300ft grass strip in Pewaukee Wisconsin.
