Greetings If you look in the following database,
http://aviation-safety.net/index.php which is a wiki and lists aircraft crashes around the world back to 1920's you will find very very very very few mid-airs. So far this year, for 896 recorded accidents there are the following only; 3 - military, training mid-airs 2 were combat jets / 1 was helicopters 1- GA, R22 helicopter vs Beechcraft in USA - both landed safely. That's it. For the whole world. Now I accept this database is not a complete listing, and let's remember how many millions of flights there have been in that time, but as a percentage, just 1 GA mid-air out of 896 reported accidents in last 6 months - a pretty reasonable sample size. Maybe we should think about the causes of the other 890 too ! and get a sense of proportion. regards Stu _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
