Actually, we're shrinking.

The number of student pilots is down by about a third since 1990, from
129,000 to 88,000. The number of private pilots is down from 299,000 to
236,000, according to statistics kept by the Federal Aviation
Administration.

That's ok... it's becoming an even more exclusive club. :-)
