It's got a fair few contenders for the Doctor Killer title today, though... Lancair, Columbia, Mooney, Cirrus... I've always been told (as has been said) that it was because wealthy people (mainly doctors) decided that it was a nice, fast, comfortable plane, and picked one up as a bare PPL, having previously flown a PA28/172. End result is more aeroplane than ability. It's why Cirrus is putting so much emphasis on Pilot Training for it's aircraft now.
