It's time to stop flying the public in these old machines. As wonderful as they are, they are not safe for the transport of passengers. If you want to risk your life, go ahead. The risks when flying on one are worse than flying on a modern passenger plane and the public may not know that.
This ^^^^^^ is unfortunately what Australia is. Brainwashed by incompetent government agencies, making citizens think that 'everything is dangerous' and will kill you. Let us tell you what's safe and what's not. Don't think for yourself, it's safer playing inside on an ipad than riding your pushy to school.
Are you calling for motor vehicles to be banned when you look at the road toll in the morning newspaper? Nup, jump in your car and head off to work, even though Collings Foundation have probably less incidents per kilometer than any road system in the world.
Ok, back away from the keyboard and go and have a snickers. You're contradicting yourself and making me ashamed to be Australian.
Ashamed is an understatement Peter.
I would jump on a Collings Foundation aircraft tomorrow.
