There’s no doubt it does a lot of good, but is a potential serious risk as well. Moreso than trucks, guns, and so on. WMD level risks.

I hate flying in general, and prefer people just drive. That’s my personal opinion. The people that died from PSA 182, 9/11 and so on. I just think people shouldn’t be in such a hurry to get around, just drive. GA flying isn’t that safe, and commercial causes a lot of deaths on the ground.

Of course there’s good done, but just IMO, it’s possibly not worth it.

I respect your opinion but if you would take a closer look at GA you will find that it isn't as risky as you believe.

Visit your local airport and ask for a training demonstration flight. They're all great folks and I bet you'd really enjoy it as you obviously like a challenge...

So now we find that you're also a Luddite!

Ten second google found this!

This latest report from Aircraft Crashes Record Office in Geneva, Switzerland tells us that 879 people died from airplane crashes worldwide in 2008.

Compare that with World's Health Organization annual report (released recently) - 1.3 million people die from car accidents every year worldwide!

Yet you think cars are safer! Wow!
