With all due respect, what does a coroner know about safety in GA???
Yes it is true the fatal accidents seem to have been more excessive of late (DS has made that point well known) however I would rather fly in a 35 year old C172 than ride a motorbike accross the country.
Between drugged up truckies (not all of 'em) and people who could not drive out of sight on a dark night, the skies are safer with a PPL'er and a old Warrior, than the highway.
The most dangerous part about flying is driving to the airport!!
Oh hang on this was reported by the media, so maybe that was not what he said or meant.
