Pilots who are also Ham Radio ops... how many?

When I started the company 32 years ago, we did an informal poll using the now
obsolete electric typewriter and the ham call / pilot certificate printed books.
While admittedly unscientific (we took the tenth name from each tenth page,
giving us about a hundred fairly random samples), we found a roughly 1/3 - 1/3
crossbreeding between both sets.

That is, one out of three pilots is a ham, one out of three hams is a pilot.

That may no longer be true; I don't have any current sampling data to verify,
although it would be one HELL of a lot easier to randomize the data today.
