One thing I find remarkable is that "sunny" Florida and California each
have a higher percentage of instrument flyers than "rainy" Oregon and
Washington.

Dunno about California, but Florida has a lot of retirees. Bet many of
those
guys'n gals with instrument tickets got the rating before moving there. In
fact, I know a few who got the rating to allow them to come back to New
Jersey
for the summer whenever they want.

Actually it is because of the number of flight schools located in Florida
and California. People from all over the world go there to become airline
pilots. They all get instrument ratings.
