Nice post 43. Just goes to show that high hours doesn't necessarily mean high incidents! Sunny might not like that though.
Sunny doesn't mind that one at all. It's nothing to do with high hours, it's to do with statistical significance and randomness.

You might for example fly for thousands of hours with no problems, then get Four unrelated events all happening in the space of a month or Two.

The newspapers do this every time we have a Five death weekend on the roads. "Road safety is going to the dogs!" they scream, when really nothing has changed.

To put it another way, RVAC may now go for Twenty years without an incident.

....unless Sunfish keeps flying
