Since this forum has been such a remarkable source of mostly useful information and I'd like very much for it to continue for a very long time, I'm curious to know if there are a good number of youngster Kolbers coming along to gradually replace aging oldster Kolbers. So, if you don't mind, please respond with your age. If this gets enough response I'll compile and post the results. 



I am only 61 so I hope to have lots more flying years ahead of me.

Age 59, turning 60 on September 9th.  A good survey item, indicating the future of the sport.

You know, if you guys want to do polls, at least use some of the free technology around!



I've set this up -- took me about 3 minutes... MUCH easier to see what the poll is about, it self-organizes, and self-reports.

I really didn't start serious flying until flying until I was 63.  I thought 

I was on the old side and I worry that not many young people are taking up 

the sport. But may be and old retired man's sport. Then every once in a 

while I hear a little half VW going over head pulling a Hummel Bird.  The 

fellow flying it is 91 and so I think I may have a few years yet to 

fly.
