Carrier aviation is a very dangerous business. A million things can kill you, some you can control, some you can't.

Especially in today's "Woke Navy".

Serving in a woke navy just adds one more reason to the million that says it is a dangerous profession.

The most dangerous times for navy and air force aviation was 1942 through 1955. Wartime training accidents were horrendous, some 15K aircrew deaths.

Transition from props to jets got many seasoned veterans in the 1950s. We would lose one or two a day at Luke when I was a kid there. Funerals and memorial services were daily occurrences.
