Incidentally, Bill Bedford was mentioned earlier.
It is hardly surprising that a pilot of his generation fully supported more flight safety. He crashed a few times and must have seen huge amounts of waste.
This is from his era.
It is a rather different world now.
It is plain to see that at that time aircraft were falling out of the sky like rain.
We have come a long way. but people seem to think that we must always do better.
Why?
The only way to be 100% safe is to stop flying.
That is where we are getting to now, and I don't want to see it happen
