Default What is the Average Age?

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?


My son is 17, and should have his ticket (if the weather would ever
cooperate) before the end of the year. I didn't earn mine till I was
35. My wife didn't get hers until she was 37.

The aviation industry has traditionally done a TERRIBLE job of
marketing itself. I don't think it's the money as much as the lack of
knowledge amongst the general public about how easy and accessible
general aviation really *is*.

Hopefully that is starting to change, as desperation finally starts to
sink in.
