Pilots are, indeed, rare...

Hey, I know dozens of pilots. I guess that means I know 250K+ people! I
love statistics. Here's another goofy-ass statistic, gleaned from another forum: "I don't have the exact figures, but there are something like 600,000 active pilots in the US. I saw something in the paper the other day there were 650,000 registered sex offenders in the US." Hell, if THAT doesn't make you sit up and take notice -- there are more perverts in America than pilots! That really points out just how few of us there are, and why we, as pilots, have so little political clout... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

At least triple that, I suspect. Maybe those are the same guys who are flying without a license... :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

In Michigan it's probably the other way around. We list the teenagers that got foolish right along with the true predators. OTOH if you throw about half the number we have on the lists, out and replace them by the ones that haven't been caught we might be close. Roger (K8RI)

Now you have me wondering how many other pilots are perverts.

Please don't confuse the two!
