My point exactly Luftwaffle. I suspect that if 111 "Airplane pilots" bought the farm in the USA in 1995, the vast majority, if not all of them were amateur pilots.

I don't think flying as a leisure pursuit can be considered an occupation and therefore this statistic in common with 78.437 percent of all statisitcs (including that one) is complete tosh.

If on the other hand the statistic is true (and this in itself is a statistical improbability) I'm getting another job. I have no desire to throw a seven quite yet.
