As a new pilot, i got my license (not even a month ago) when i turned
15 i still dont know anyone who is anywhere near my age yet though

All the men who i met while learning where great people but where all
over 50 is there actually anyone out there who is under 20?


In the United States, the average private pilot is in his mid-40s. I suspect
this is so because it takes that long for the average aspiring pilot to save
up enough money to actually be able to fly around a bit. However, if you have
a private pilot's license at 15, you're not in the United States, and I'm not
sure how the demographics look in other countries.
