This is really very interesting. At our local EAA chapter meeting we are
always looking to get younger folks to join and learn about aviation. As
I look around (and I am 61) pilots now tend to be gray haired folks.
Those that still have hair. Your #3 question shows that we are an aging
population. I know that this is not a scientific study, but I think it
does reflect what is going on. I have not read any other comments yet,
I'll scroll down and see.
