GA's "fair share"

"Ahh, but this would all require our government to actually be competent."

Many elected politicians are AOPA members, as Boyer loves to point out
whenever this fact helps his current argument.


I'm trying to find out how many members of the congress are licensed
private
pilots (I already know it will be disproportionate, relative to the
population).

(this little factoid comes in handy when pilots claim that only a highly
skilled, select, elite subset of the population possesses the necessary
skill set to fly, while at the same time (1) bemoaning the stupidity of
the government and (2)claiming that anyone who proposes tougher
regulations on GA is just jealous. Both statements are of course
ludicrous, and repeated often on this site!)
