Jesus wept.

I knew the good old days were bad but those stats are horrendous.

I feel lucky to be alive as Dad was flying Meteors in 1953...mind you I remember him telling me they lost three pilots on his ETPS course including the CFI and two more just afterwards (and both the American pilots went on to die in Vietnam).

In today's culture it's difficult to comprehend.
