Watch “Air Disasters” on The Smithsonian Channel. You may never want to fly again.

Simple, simple things bring planes down.

I’m with you. To me, people who fly all the time are crazy. Haha, if you think flying ten or more times a year is fine, let me tell you about this one neighbor I used to have who was a long-time employee of one of the biggest air travel companies in the US. If it won’t cause you at least to think twice about frequent air travel, then you really ARE nuts.

One of mine and my wife’s favorite shows. The good thing is that every failure, whether by poor design or procedure, that leads to a tragedy, gets thoroughly investigated and changes implemented so that it doesn’t happen again. I agree that a lot of times my wife and I can’t believe that something so simple or stupid had caused such a tragedy, but, those things get fixed and don’t happen again.

I worked during 1986 to 1991 at a MAJOR AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURE in the Seattle area, Everett actually. At that time, in my life, I had already been doing Autobody repairs for more than 20 yr's.

There were a lot of people, that I worked with, that I wouldn't let them sweep the floor of my shop, let alone work on those planes. Yet they did.

I always get a couple of stiff drinks before I fly, which amounts to approx. once every 10 yr's or more between flights. If your going down, at least I'll be happy.
