Our family went to the airshow in northern California last weekend. It was a blast, to say the least. It blows me away to think about the things people can do with planes and that they can have the where-with-all to pull off some of the manuvers they do, and under the G's they are pulling at...

In the USA, we now have between 500,000 and 600,000 pilots (down from 700,000 20 years ago). For the international viewers of this group, how many pilots does your government report?
