Age doesn't relate to experience. Its a common furfy old people have 8-)
Yes it does. I've been your age. You've never been mine.
I'm more experienced than you. :)

Touchy - gender is not relevant - BUT age does = experience in most
cases. I like my instructors to have grey hair J .

Overall point of the comment taken, but I missed the relevance of the
age and gender of the power instructor.

While I stop short of saying "spins are fun" I'm very pleased to have
been taught spins and recovery as part of my gliding training. If only to
underline the fact that I don't want to put myself in a situation where I
accidentally happen upon one.
I was really surprised when I subsequently did my power training to
find that we did nothing beyond basic stalls and recovery.
Stuart Ferguson said (talking about power aircraft and spins);
"I would suggest that many of today's instructors would have been
taught by people who had not been fully taught how to spin and in turn pass
this onto their students some of whom will become the next generation of
instructors"
Reminds me of the story of one of our very experienced (gliding)
instructors doing his power licence and the young lady instructor
"teaching" him forced landings. They had a bit of a difference of opinion
on how best to select a suitable field and set up the circuit. I believe
the conversation went something along these lines...
He "How many real forced landings have you actually done?"
She "None"
He "Well I've done dozens and this is how I do them..."
