Is that really true?
I reckon if you average the number of deaths over the days of the year then it could be.

Example:

89 C172 go down with 4 on board, that averages 1 person a day. Things like Barons are much more popular in the states than the UK. Get one of them go down fully loaded a nd the 6 people gone.
