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 answers:

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...)

because because of the wonderful things it does.
[3] Includes "four shalt thou not count...," "you only asked for three,"
"don't have one," "five,,,,,,no, three," "red, no blue, no," "blue, no

spending time on collecting stats on my own humor question.
