It seems a real shame that we seem to have so many pilots and so few "aviators" anymore. I saw a post by an individual who was interested in a flight navigator rating, and discovered that there are only 21 left in the FAA records. Knowing how to navigate used to be one of the requirements for becoming an aviator. Now we just push the buttons and watch the machine follow instructions. I guess thats what makes us pilots instead of aviators. Sigh...
