OLD FOLKS HOME

Sitting in my flying club the other day chatting to a couple of other members-there were around 10 in at the time--it dawned on me that they were all getting a bit ancient--myself included.
I did a quick survey-, one 80 year old-one 79, one 78, two at 74 and one at 73--still flying excellent aerobatics., and a baby of 72. We do have some younger members-youngest around 22.
Flying does seem to keep the brain working--with natural culling if it ceases to function.
Is this now pretty typical of most clubs.?
