Just curious - does anyone know about how many licensed pilots there
are in the US?

A query of the downloadable database shows a total of 541,598.
This includes a small number of duplicates, and does not include an
unknown number of pilots that have asked not to be listed. It does
not include pilots without current medicals. It does include student
pilots.

I believe AOPA claims membership of about 400,000 - I wonder what
percentage of licensed pilots that represents?

That would be 73.8% if all AOPA members have current medicals, which
is unlikely.
