How old are FC drivers?

Yes... It takes two pilots to operate an airliner. If you get a chance, look in the cockpit
and you'll see two of us up there.
We take turns flying and non-flying duties every other flight.
The aircraft is certified as a two pilot flight crew. Mandatory.
Below is a pic of the speeds our aircraft can reach. 632kts over the ground is 726mph.
Cheers.

I see you got a fancy glass cockpit there, what aircraft?
My wife says I am the most boring person in the world because I like flying in xplane 10, lol.

27 (28 tomorrow actually). I'm a photographer at a pretty awesome studio in Miami. Live with my girlfriend and her sister. The deal when we moved into the house was that they could have every closet, the .5 bath and the back patio and yard, but the garage is 100% mine.
Best. Deal. Ever.
Bought this gem when I was 17
This is how it looks now
and a couple of additions to the stable over the past two years.

retail manager, your wives and girlfriends love my company. 33, owned like 8 fcs since i was 18. my full bridge n/a fc was my longest owning fc 10 years, just needed a paint job and it would've been 100%, but a house and 2 kids made me strip her and sell her off, and i got a almost complete mazdaspeed 8, just need front bumper, did it to haul my kids around in style, but still have enough parts around to start another fc build in a couple of years.

I'm 23 now. I bought my first FC when I was 16.
The first one ('86 n/a Sport) was running and driving, but very rusty. Despite all the problems, I was glad to be able to cut my teeth on that one instead of tearing apart a nice car. The engine blew at 204k miles
I bought my second FC ('86 base) When I was 17 or 18. That one came from Texas so it had no rust, but the engine was blown. It was only $500, but my dad and I had to pick it up and tow it home. Worth it. I started on a 'resto-mod' project that I unfortunately haven't finished yet . I'm cleaning up everything I can, installing new bushings, seals, etc, and putting in an S5 n/a engine. I'm hoping to have it done this summer. There really isn't much to do, but I always find some way to not work on it .
I plan on sticking with FCs for a while. I want to do a turbo swap on mine eventually, then an LS1/2/3/6 when I blow up a coupld of those. Then I'll get an FD . I also want to get a first gen and put in an S5 n/a engine, or a Renesis if I can figure out the engine management.

27, bought my FC back in 2010. Garagequeen with plenty of battlescars and some rust, plan to do a full resto on it sometime after i fisnish my degree in mechanical engineering and can afford a proper place to work on it + the parts it deserves. Planning on buying an FD as soon as i finish school tho, since the fc probably will take a few years to get done.

24, 25 in a few months. Working as a high speed imaging specialist for GE Aviation. Bought my FC when I was 17, after my '01 Prelude got totalled.
'88 GTU bought it with 42k original miles. Now has about 80k~, served as my DDD (Daily Driven Drifter) through the remainder of high school and college. Been through 2 na transmissions until I swapped for a TII drivetrain, 2 sets of coilovers and a decent number of tires. All on the original motor that still pulls just as strong as the day I got it. Will be doing a TII swap eventually, now that I have a proper DD and a stable job.

I'm 21, bought mine when I was 17, almost gone through the whole car since then with lots left to do. Will throw some pics up soon if I remember, I'm in class right now. I'm a student and a manager at a parts store part-time.
