If you fly or plan to fly a Firefly you should read this:
Aviation Safety Network list of T67/T-3 accidents. There's some interesting reading in those reports.
Keep in mind that pretty much every one of the dead Firefly pilots thought it was a safe airplane until just before impact so don't tell me, "I fly the T67 and it's a safe airplane." It's not. It's statistics are shockingly bad. It's got to be right up there with the F-104 Starfighter.
From a
UK Fatal Stall or Spin Accident summary (1980-2008) report:
The accident rate for the Slingsby T67 was throughout the period much greater than any other certified type and has been treated as a special case.
The Slingsby T67, (8 fatal accidents) was excluded from the main numerical analysis but was studied as a special case. (See Appendix 2 of the full Report).
Over 10% of every T67/T-3A has been destroyed in an accident and 35 souls have been lost to date (May 2016).
I flew the T-3A at the Air Force Academy and I call it the "Plastic Coffin."
