What is your age group?

[Everskyward]

Since we are discussing pilot demographics in another thread, I thought it might be interesting to find out what they are here.

 

[timwinters]

Mentally of physically?

 

[kayoh190]

Still in my mid-30s, although I'm gonna need to drop the whole 'mid' part pretty soon. Heh!

 

[James_Dean]

39 and been a pilot for 13 years. In my head I'm still 28.

 

[Everskyward]

Mentally of physically?

I didn't include "younger than 10".

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

screw you. I have to drop the "thirties" part in 2 months.

 

[jordane93]

Old enough to party.

 

[kayoh190]

I'm pretty sure I won't handle 40 well. My guess is it'll look something like this:

 

[frfly172]

Getting old is not for the faint of heart,it's a bunch of work.

 

[sferguson524]

40 sucks.

 

[EdFred]

You're as old as who you feel, so I only try and date 21 year-olds.

 

[brien23]

70 sucks, but the alternative is worse.

 

[mscard88]

Over 60 pushing 70 but still think I'm 20 at times..... a bit harder to keep up with my 6 yo grandson but we manage. You know you're getting old when kids and wife tell you the story your about to tell, well they've heard it before, and more than once. But at least my stories are consistent, so got that working for me!

 

[eman1200]

"WHADYA SAY, SONNY?"

 

[mscard88]

Eh?

 

[X3 Skier]

Can I vote thrice? Mental, Physical and Calendar?

Cheers

 

[Norman]

Touche!

 

[X3 Skier]

Good way not to get to 70. Don't ask me how I know.

Cheers

 

[Ravioli]

I'm 50. I like to tell chippies "Don't worry about being half my age. You're a lot younger than that!"

 

[Caramon13]

I voted how I feel.

 

[GlennAB1]

Rapidly approaching 60 and my knees know it.

 

[kyleb]

40 sucks.

40 wasn't bad for me. Physically, I couldn't tell much difference between 35 and 48 or thereabouts. Now that I'm 51, it seems to take a LOT more work to get in shape to run a 10k at the same pace as when I was 30 or 40.

 

[Neal Howard]

54 here and fortunately still have the health and energy like a 40 yr old. I am starting to think about all the dreams I had when I was young, and never realized them.... except for a very big dream.... to learn how to fly and have my own plane. That dream fulfilled has made a big difference. Now I'm thinking of other dreams I might try to realize. I always dreamed of being a rock star guitar player too, but now I'd have to buy a wig and hope 1980s glam rock becomes popular again

 

[Let'sgoflying!]

Glad to have the activity level way ahead of what my dad's generation had at this age.

 

[Shepherd]

Like they say: "You can't do anything about getting old, but you don't have to grow up."
Closer to 70 than 60.

 

[Jmtodd1976]

The big 4-0 happens August 23rd for me.. Still having a blast so that particular metric doesn't bother me.. I'm more concerned about how old I feel than what the numbers say.. Just bought my second airplane after a 13 year gap, and looking forward to many years of usefulness out of the dump truck!

We call her the "Little Doctor".. In respect of her previous owner for 40 years who built an amazing airplane, and is just an amazing individual on all accounts..

 

[denverpilot]

Smack in the middle of my 40s.

 

[Bobcat1]

Old enough to know better than to let on how old I am.

 

[Zeldman]

Smack in the middle of my late 50s. I never felt my age until I got married at 51. She was 33. She will kill me,.....eventually.

 

[35 AoA]

Smack in the middle of my late 50s. I never felt my age until I got married at 51. She was 33. She will kill me,.....eventually.

First marriage? If so, well done sir.

Just make sure the life insurance is paid up! LOL

 

[GlennAB1]

My parents and many from their Era remember the depression and they have lived conservatively their whole lives.

 

[Zeldman]

Oh sure... so she can live it up after she kills me.....

And yes, first marriage for the both of us.

 

[RangeRider]

62 here, but in great physical shape. Wife is 33, keeps me on my toes.

Next to a mountain of blow?

 

[FloridaPilot]

40 sucks.

I use to think that in my 20's and 30's I guess when you get older your perspective about age changes. The older I get, the more I realize how valuable time really is. I'm 45 soon to be 46. For all of the folks entering 40 it's not that bad really that kid in you will always be there, how much you want to entertain it is entirely up to you.

 

[FlySince9]

Between the Senior discounts and the Reserved for Veterans Parking spots... Life is good...

 

[RotorDude]

Smack in the middle of my life, and intend to stay there till I fall out.
(And with my newly earned Silver Badge, everything seems nicer. )
