Recent posts bring up an interesting question - to me anyway. Does anyone here have any idea (rough estimate) what proportion of jet pilots fly light aircraft "recreationally". That is, own their own Cessna/Cirrus/light twin/whatever or rent one occasionally.
Back in the day, when my old man worked for Pan Am (as a dispatcher in Europe), I recall learning that a fair number of pilots put some piston hours in every year. Couldn't say what percentage though.
This might be a tad off topic, but then again it might not be. When I go up for a couple hours in a Cessna I like to spend a fair bit of time in unusual attitudes, incl. falling leaves, power-on stalls and the like (lots of trim wheel cranking involved). It's one of my favorite things.
Any thoughts?
