Aviation is getting old. I'm 40 now, and for 12 years have been the
youngest person hanging out at airport and the youngest person in my EAA
chapter. When a new guy shows up who's 28, he sees all the old farts

(maybe
I'm one too in his eyes), and looks for a younger crowd to hang with.

This
doesn't help.


Maybe there needs to be a aviation sector of the "X" games. I'm only half
kidding.

Why not make the Summer X-Games a stop on the Red Bull competition-aerobatic
tour...or add a Flugtag-esque event?

Just adding a couple of cents to this thought...

Excellent idea. But the FAA makes them jump through so many hoops. If NASCAR
had to have the safety items in place that Redbll does you'd be watching
races at Daytona from the beach.
