Yes, I think it is typical. My club has many members over the age of 50 and several over 70. We perhaps recall the 93 year old aerobatic pilot who recently was knocked down & killed crossing the road. Obviously crossing the road is less safe than aeros.

But I do agree, flying keeps you alive, pipe & slippers events watch afternoon TV does not.
