Here's the average age of pilots, comparing 1993 to 2003:

....................1993 -- 2003
Student ........ 33.7 - 34.0
Rec ..............45.5 - 51.3
Private ..........42.7 - 46.5
Commercial ...41.9 - 45.6
ATP ..............44.1 - 47.0

Finally, something that keeps me from feeling old.

More Sport Pilots and a law to require all golf courses to
allow airplanes.

BTW, GOLF got its name from the signs at the
course...Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden

Preaching to the choir... There are quite a few of us here that are near the
same age as the averages. You know, us that were born in 1958, graduated
high school in 1977; or there abouts...

What was that saying??? "Pa, I wanna be a pilot when I grow up", "Son, you
can't do both"...

Cute, but false. Google is your friend.

for Email, make the obvious change in the address.

Too late! Might work for the grandchildren, though.

Better yet, get rid of the whiney money-grubbing families who bring the
damned lawsuits in the first place, even AFTER they collect megabucks on the
life and accidental death policies.

General aviation is doing its part. The last fatal crash at my local airport
took out a lawyer.

It's a good thing it's false; I'd hate to think my friends who play it have
gay tendencies.
