Ta for that Patrick.
I was pretty sure John had done a report for later years (and still continues) but I couldn't find it before.
 
To correct the numbers in my previous email :
 
The US numbers have been substantially reduced from the original 2003 estimates, however, these (more justifiable?) numbers still show:
1993  23557
2004  20980
A decrease of about 11% (or 2577 pilots in gross terms).
 
So compared to John's first estimate, there appear to be less glider pilots in the US to start with and a bigger loss of pilots (both gross numbers and %wise) over the sample period than was originally thought. 
 
Regards
SWK
