I asked because I have read many articles about plane crashes and they all seem to involves a Cessna.... and JFK died on one, too, didn't he?

JFK Jr. died in a Piper Saratoga.

Also, probably because a Cessna is one of the more common planes flown by new pilots.

Bottom line, if you get behind the curve while flying, things can get complicated beyond your ability to react very, very quickly and you can end up in a serious situation.

A great and engrossing read, and one that I have always enjoyed, is "The Shepherd", by Frederick Forsyth. It is a very, very quick read, can be read in a matter of a few hours, and covers this exact subject. If you haven't read it before, you will get goosebumps at the end. I read it every year on Christmas Eve, if I can find the time.
