Ten dead pilots in two years should tell you something.

“...a well-known deficiency in the F-14’s Pratt & Whitney engine....”

P&W probably got more than a few memos on that “glitch”.

When you start flight school the cadre tells you one in three will not live through a career of 20 years.

We lost more of my class to car accidents than flying accidents but, the ratio was 1 in 3. I suspect there were more errors in judgement on the car accident side.
