4. Midnight Blue

Tut tut, you only asked for three!

I meant to do that. :-)

OMG! Have we fallen for a social experiment???????

Naw. It's just a bit of mixed humor - I definitely appreciate the replies
though. (The one extra item over the alleged count and favorite color
question are concepts borrowed from Monty Python scripts.)

3. 51-60
4. blue

I saw the following poll at Doug Reeve's "Van's Airforce" and was mildly
surprised to see almost 70% first logged time under the age of 30 (at
least
at the time I last looked):

So I wonder how many of you I can get to (reasonably) honestly answer the
following three questions:

(1) In which age range below did you start logging time towards your first
pilot certificate?
[ 16] [16 - 20] [21 - 30] [31 - 40] [41 - 50] [51 - 60] [61 - 70] [ 70]

(2) In which age range below did you acquire your (non-student) pilot
certificate?
[ 16] [16 - 20] [21 - 30] [31 - 40] [41 - 50] [51 - 60] [61 - 70] [ 70]

(3) How old are you now?
[ 16] [16 - 20] [21 - 30] [31 - 40] [41 - 50] [51 - 60] [61 - 70] [ 70]

(4) What is your favorite color?

My own answers:
(1) [51 - 60]
(2) Working on it.
(3) [51 - 60] Some days it feels like on the upper side of that range,
others on the lower side.
(4) Arrest-me-red.

the following three questions:

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Pseudochelidoninae or Hirundininae?

Pseudochelidoninae are river martins, not true swallows. Both African
and European swallows are Hirundininae. Not to put too fine a point on
it, it is generally accepted that all swallows are descended from
African species.

Both African and European species when unladen have a cruising airspeed
of approximately 25 mph, but they can reach 40 or 50 mph in short
bursts. Chinese swallows are about the same.

Human, if possible please. Alternate realities, imaginary realms, and

OK, thirteen, old enough to know better and yellow.

After reading these replies, I see Boyer wasn't kidding when he said
the pilot population is aging : ) (I know, I know... I'll get there
someday too...)

Who are you who is so wise in the ways of swallows?
