Carl, your buddy is giving you some bad gouge. Here's what I found on a list dated 01 Jan 08:
Year of Birth/ number of pilots
1947/2
1948/60
1949/75
1950/89
1951/136
1952/157
1953/218
1954/272
1955/348
1956/478
1957/567
Total:2402 pilots over age 50 (This doesn't count the guys who have turned 50 in 2008)
Obviously, some of these guys are going to be junior to you, but the fact remains that there is a lot of bad information out there.
