Do you have any figurews for USAF and RAF pilots? Does the number of
hours typically vary depemnding on type of aircraft flown? Also, to
what extent can good simulators replace flying time?

USN minimum is 100 hours/year. That's way too low to actually maintain
proficiency.

15 hours/month is about minimum for proficiency; 300 hours/year is reasonable.
