Was the accident rate among Navy pilots better in the years before 1996 or after 1996?
Rw: 65 - You’re ‘gonna probably hear crickets on that one.
Why? Because there’s some incredible ignorance on this thread - and some FReepers are not going to let facts get in the way.
“Was the accident rate among Navy pilots better in the years before 1996 or after 1996?”
Some anecdotes from the article I referred to up thread:
When I got to [VF]213, the mishaps continued. In fact, during my two years in Air Wing Eleven, the entire Wing lost nine jets and had six fatalities. Four of the lost planes were Tomcats and three of the deaths were in them.
It was a jumpy time.
As one of my friends, HOB Higgins, said, we felt like cats in a room full of rocking chairs. Shortly after I joined 213 we lost Kara Hultgreen while she was attempting to land on the Lincoln. I had known Kara briefly in the Training Command.

That is relevant how to what I wrote? If you have a persuasive point related to what I said, make it.
