Shiny's question got me to wondering what the age distribution on Avcanada is.

While I may be 35, I'm extremely immature.

I'm 39.

The thing is, while there are lots of kids getting into and interested in aviation, there needs to be more of an effort to get them more involved earlier. They need to find out that there's more than just logging hours towards paper in plastic airplanes.

edit: You forgot the 85+ category BPF, otherwise you'll not include most of the members of this forum. :wink:

28 for me. The fiance is trying to settle me down. Buy a house. Get rid of the project car.

(I'm buying the house so I have more room for the project car :wink: )

61 for a few more days, and I already have my 10% discount at Home Hardware! :D

Getting old is dull but it is the only way to live long.

Line boy at 14, 1st solo at 16, private at 17, commercial at 18. Still flying every now and then but more for pleasure and almost never for a living anymore.

35... but I feel a lot younger. I think I got my 20s and 30s mixed up compared to most people... ...doing things like getting married and having kids in my early 20s... and doing things like snowboarding and judo in my 30s.

Started in aviation when I was 18, flying when I was 21.
