Title: What is the average age of your squad members?
Post by: daddog on April 04, 2002, 11:37:36 PM
The Mongrels took a little poll to see how old we all are.  Three years ago our average was in the lower 30's. It has jumped quite a bit. We see to be attracting some old farts. ;)

I heard from most everyone. It turns out the average age of our squad is 40.2 :)

42, 43, 50, 38, 40, 35, 55, 49, 27, 48, 42,29, 35, 55, 29, 37, 39, 34, 54, 24, 27, 49, 44.

Anyone know the ages of their squad members and what the average is?

If me, Roper and Iron would leave the AKs, the average age would probably be 30.  As it is, our average has to be somewhere in the 40s.

Lentolaivue 34:

-All members (33 pilots)(AH and IL-2)...  29.9 yrs
-Only AH players (14 pilots)... 28.4 yrs

-Youngest... 16
-Oldest... 42

I would have thought AH players to be older in general but was wrong :)

Hey Daddog, if you wanna bring the average WAY down, recruit Dlamb and his cohorts.  That one simple move will knock years off of the average squad member age.

I'm not entirely sure, but I *think* I am the youngest member of Jg2 at 24.  AG is 27 or 28, I believe everyone else is late 20's, early 30's.

AH is going to have an older 'community' than a lot of games- we have to pay to support our habit lol.

Hmm, I wonder if we have the oldest flyer in Aces High?  I would have thought someone would be older, but maybe not :).  I won't tell you his name, but he can still remember sitting around the family radio as a boy in 1941 and hearing about the attack on pearl harbor!

I'll have to get my dad started and form a squad.  He was a B24 nose gunner in WWII.  I think that'd make him the oldest player.

Then again, he's more of a recreational combat sim pilot, and I'd rather he continue playing golf so I can keep taking money off him on the 18th green  :D

You got that Dawggus!

It would be great if we could get more "legacies" flying in AH....the comraderie and stories that they can bring to the game and to young guys like us are invaluable....lets not let that history die!

The Buccaneers - average age - 44, as near as I can average guesses of everyone's age.

Pretty old considering that we have a teenager in the group.

We have 18 active members, 17 of which I know personally.

We might be throwing off the curve a little because the Academy has age limitations, but the 34th Highland Raptors are all between 18 and 22, with our one outlyer who's 25.  Good news is he'll be graduating soon, so the average will go back down.

Guttboy, you mean you hadn't heard?  The Blue Zoo has indeed had a squadron in AH since about version 1.04.  Funny thing is, some of us are halfway decent at it now.  Look us up sometime, 34th Highland Raptors Composite Group.

Mjolnir,

Good luck at graduation....DONT DO WHAT I DID!!!!!!!  Chasing the Arnie's Pizza Van on the Terrazzo on a Friday night before a SAMI in the only black Toyota Supra Turbo on campus gets you stuck at base for Turkey day!  Also, Dont go skiing at A-Basin and get your boot and ski caught in a rockslide 2 months prior to grad...you will have to stay and work for the cadet wing and that is truly a bummer before flight training.

Good luck.....check out AFSOC for your plane of choice....if you get any variant of the MC130 Ill be flying with you out here at Kirtland at the school house......

On the coach name dont remember it.....

BY the way if you USAFA guys have a squad yell out on a couple of nights and Ill chat at ya.  9mill is a grad as well flying at Kadena in the MC130 and just got selected for LtCol....congrats Chris.

Another note.....I wonder why they closed both my squadrons...37 and 38.....could it be it produced too many deviants....I THINK NOT  :D
