I bet there are a bunch of us... I'm not sure knowing more jumpers going in than pilots is quite valid, jumpers, especially BASE, tend to be more "cowboy" than the average IFR pilot, jump at bridge day and meet your peers.. ;-)
- themaninthedark 7y agoI have family that are MD's and it's very common (or was) for doctors to get their pilot's license. I was told about death pools are common for new pilots, with surgeons being seen as the more likely to die due to their less risk adverse nature.
