Thanks for those figures ........ and also to
PB
While the figures for OZ are 1993 3510 & 2004 2637
........... a decrease here of about 25% (or 882 pilots in gross terms) when
calculated on the same basis.
Regards GWK

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
For a more recent
report (to 2004) with revised US numbers see http://www.fai.org/gliding/membership
Cheers,
