I'd say overall, here in the states...most kids are into jets. From personal experience, the people I see at WWII type airshows are between 30 and 50. Money is plays a huge factor in interest. Most people who can afford warbirds are over 40, and most people that have a connection to the birds are also over 40. By connection I mean baby boomer generation, parents or grandparents that were involved in WWII. When I was 24 I flew with an instructor at Kent State that didn't know what a B-25 N25GL was...as he perused my thin log book. Probably thought it was a Fokker...spam can driver ;)
