You would think there would be more younger guys playing with drones, but then again these things aren't exactly cheap either.

I'm 78 and love flying my drones  It's about the only thing that gets me out of the house.

Im 20, and I'm surprised my age bracket has the lowest amount of Drone pilots compared to other ages, there is more 70 year olds flying than 20 year olds !

Might be that over 70’s have a lot more disposable income than 20 year olds.

Early 20's. Pleasantly surprised to see a lot more older folks here. Was expecting more people around my age, but there's only dozens of us!

I'm 70 ..but not my fathers 70. Fly a Mavic to stay young and up to date with technology. Longtime photographer and this is a new way to see.

Hopefully our fathers paved the way for us to have an easier life. It surely is a great new way of portraying photography. Good luck..

Same as Javey, 31 and moving up from toys.

I had RC toys as a kid for land, air, and sea, so growing up I've had to move to real vehicles for land and sea... though air will be a bit beyond my means so this'll have to do for now.

Knocking on 54 here... next month. Played around with rc cars mostly, but did enjoy some 'toy' copters a bit before moving to the Mavic. My wife also supports my hobbies. Like someone else had mentioned... it's one of the few things that will get me outta the house anymore.

I just turned 65 and my wife bought  me my MP for my birthday.  Yep - she's a real keeper.

I think she wanted something guaranteed to get me out of the house since I just retired.

"she's a real keeper"

Wow you guys are old
I'm 21 and after years of dreaming I bought my first camera drone which is the Mavic! Absolutely amazing what this thing can do...
Pretty much as close to flying an aircraft as I will ever get because my eyesight is way too bad to become a commercial pilot / private pilot.

43 here and have a Mavic Pro and a Spark. Visited my parents recently and expected to have my Mum moan at me for "Wasting money on a toy", was rather shocked that my Mum was really interested in it. Didn't tell her how much I paid for them though

63 and retired after 41 years as a railroad conductor.
Besides riding my Harley Davidson, this is the most fun I have ever had. The only problem is all of this comes after the "Honey Do's" looming everyday to perform. Also, taking my two sheepdogs to the park for their lengthy run every other day.
But, all of this is certainly much better than the work I was doing for 41 years, usually six days a week. Basically had no free time whatsoever.

Voted.
Will be 56 in a couple of months.
As the little boy I feel like (in spite of my age) I look forward to spring appearing. It's almost hopeless to get out flying with the weather we currently have where I live.
