What percent of people in the Air force are actually pilots?

I need to know statistics, and what other jobs they do. Any help would be appreciated.

    You have to be an officer to be a pilot in the Air Force. And to be an officer, you need at least a bachelor's degree. The statistic is about 4% (13,246 out of 324,633 people in the Air Force are pilots - current as of Dec 31, 2008).

    Below I've provided the link for the statistic, a list of Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSC's) for enlisted personnel, and a website for officer careers.

    Good luck!!

    In total there are about 670,000 people in the air force ( including reserves and civilian contractors ). It operates about 5,800 aircraft. So.. about .8% give or take..

    4 % of officers are pilots. They are also commanders of the base, the wing and their flying squadrons.
