Pretty tough to find enough pilots who fit into that generation still flying 121 to use it as a meaningful metric for retirement numbers in 2016. Maybe someone who flew some refugees out of Saigon during the last days as a brand new 23 year-old LT in 1975 might still be hanging on somewhere. He'd be 63 now.

I would say most pilots who fall into the "Vietnam era" moniker are in their seventies or older and long since retired.
