So how old are we all?
 
Well I've been lurking and posting in this forum for a while now and I suspect I'm pretty young to be here (with a few exceptions) being a 24 year old young'un.
I'm curious to know the average age of our web enabled GA community. For those of you who are sensitive about these issues a rough approximation will do! :ok:

Now look here young man .........

Didn't anyone tell you it was rude to ask a lady her age, especially if she is old enough to be your mother, and nearly old enough to be your grannie! :{

DB - growing old disgracefully, given half a chance :ok:

I can only apologize, but take heart from this - neither my mother nor my grandmother are internet using pilots....:D

Age is an inconsequential state of mind :cool:

I am nearly as old as my aeroplane, which is 56 years old this year.

31. Is that enough for a reply??

Whirlybird 9th Sep 2004 09:17

A PPRuNer who recently found out my age by devious means (another website and some detective work) said he'd thought I was 20 years younger than I am. Well...I often knock ten years off, but from now on, I might try 20. That being so, I have no intention of telling you all my real age, and if I did, you wouldn't know whether to believe me or not, now I've told you all that I sometimes lie! And like distaff_beancounter, I come from a generation when it was rude to ask a lady her age. But no problem, asking is fine; just don't expect an answer. ;)

Growing old is compulsory; growing up is optional. :ok:

FingersR 9th Sep 2004 09:26

I have reached the grand old age of 28! :D

Flock1 9th Sep 2004 09:43

...and I'm 33. Passed my PPL when I was 31. Wanted to be a pilot since I was 10.

LondonJ 9th Sep 2004 09:49

19...giving me a massive 2 years post-PPL experience

TheBeeKeeper 9th Sep 2004 10:48

29..... Had PPL for 3 years, though let it lapse and have only started flying again in last 6 months.... now on taildraggers, hurrah! Although with only a tailskid and no brakes, taxying is challenging in all but the lightest of winds.

Almost as old as my aeroplane, which was 59 years old this year
(sorry Mike, mine's older than yours!)

distaff_beancounter 9th Sep 2004 11:22

I have the perfect method of being devious about my age.

When asked, I never tell anyone how old I am -
- I just say that "my last birthday was my xxth"

I was born on 29th February, so I only get one birthday every four years! ;)

c-bert 9th Sep 2004 11:49

I take it those aren't roman numerals then...?;)

Nice one ...

But I am not THAT old!!! :)

LondonJ 9th Sep 2004 12:21

you're 44-47, let x = 1, therefore your last birthday was your 11th. Given that it is every 4 years that puts you somewhere between 44 and 47.

41 - and good looking!?

Andy ;)
