This confirms my suspicion that this forum is indeed a retirement home for aviation nerds with internet access*.
Ducks andrunsslowly walks away.

That's why I love this place. It makes me feel young. I'm "just" 56.....

Honest, the wrinkles don't hurt.
I'll be 70 in two weeks.

And apparently semi-deaf, judging by your taste in music. *Walks away slightly faster*

Nyet. The oldest clients I've delivered the sunday paper to takes the cake. He was in his early or mid 90s and always playing card games on his PC, she was in her late 70s and a big fan of adventure games of any kind. And I'm pretty sure their son also set up an internet connection for them. And all this was ten years ago.
Loved to have a chat with her about games whenever I went around collecting the money for the paper.
Well, Bjoern, it's good to see that you are gainful employed.( Written with tongue firmly in cheek. ) I have a first cousin who is 74 and still works as the circulation manager for a paper in Austin, Texas. Looks like you have a future.
Maybe if my retirement check is late, I can get a loan from you....

I'd like to chip in to get the average age down. I'll be turning 49 in September.
You can't imagine how good that made me feel!

I guess I'm the baby of the community at the young age of 22

60 here, with 61 creeping in (October). My wife and kids got me started with FSX about six years ago. They think it's a hoot and push me to spend more time with it (I'd say I'm a pretty lucky pup all around). Got my PPL back in 1972 in a Yankee, then onward and upward.

Will spend my last few hours of my last day (today) as a 44-year old ... you guessed it ... on my FS box ...

When this thread first started, I would have guessed that the average age would be around 35.
I don't know if I want to remain a member of SOH now that I know they allow so many old people to join.
Just kidding...... At 64, you learn that age is just a number, I wish I knew then what I know now.
I would not want to be a kid now. Life is just too noisy and complicated. I miss the days when life was much more simple.
A young 68 here. I'm still active raising a good sized vegetable garden every year and with chores around the house. I make fairly regular trips to NAS Pensacola to watch the Blues practice and enjoying the air museum.
