From observation of what goes on at the local GA airports, which you should
try sometimes instead of just pulling stuff out of your ass, instructors
are about evenly divided between young guys looking to build time and older
guys who just like aviation.

And then there is the few middle aged guys who have a day job and instruct
on weekends and evenings because they like aviation.

The CFII we like is ex USAF, now flies for a major carrier, and enjoys
instructing. Could not ask for better (although he is the first CFII I
ever knew who insisted I wear a parachute for unusual attitude
recovery practice in his personal airplane (it was NOT an M20J!).
