The link worked when I posted. How it became broken I can't say. It's fixed now. The LA Times article is debatable. The fatal accident totals are accurate (they are US-only numbers). But the hours by make/model are questionable. As an owner, I've never returned a FAA flight hours survey, much like a lot of other folks, and there is no way those hours are correct. I'm impressed they were able to get the hours. I tried hard and couldn't get them from the FAA broken down by make/model. Assuming they actually got real numbers and it's not all BS. Zimmerman's article is much more realistic.

As for cake recipes, the R44 is rapidly becoming the most popular helicopter of all time. Over 6300 built to date and poised to eclipse the 7300 206's that have been built. Pretty tasty to a lot of people. That it takes more care to fly it safely I'll be the first to admit. But it's not the train wreck that everyone makes it out to be. If you fly it by the book. There are far too many who don't.
