| Ran across a neat little bit of info related to the Arrow in a issue of Air & Space Smithsonian. The head test pilot Jan Zurakowski and long time aviator never had a official pilot's license. The reason given was he never had to apply for one, and was such a good pilot, no one thought to inquire about it.

In Zurakowski's case he was flying a military aircraft for the Canadian government. In many cases military pilots (and former military pilots) never get licenses if they are employed flying government aircraft.

| I know plenty of military pilots who do not have civilian pilots licenses.

| I guess it is not all that uncommon.
