The average age in the US of everyone appears to be increasing, not just pilots.
At least that's what I can glean from a quick look through www.census.gov

Except for militry pilots (recuited young and "retire" early) the
pilots would have the same age distribution as auto drivers. The
population of pilots is heavily biased toward civilian private flyers as
is auto drivers. But since flying is so expensive, only the mature and
older folks can afford it, so that biases up the average pilot age a few
years. Also Airline pilots can continue up to age 60, then they retire
to the civilian category. So the average pilot age will likely be higher
than the driver age. The only thing that prevents the average to be yet
higher is that such licences are easily lost due to medical conditions.
