Flying in Alaska is dangerous, wind, ice and pilots trying to get into places that are at best un-improved, along with mountains, and marginal nav aids, lead to some of the highest accident rates in the entire U.S.  Many of the the accidents up there are labeled as pilot error in that area.  Yes I can say that I get 99 % of the accident reports from the NTSB and the FAA.  Although many of the accidents in that area go un reported.

It was a stat that came out a few years ago, colmbo. I am not here to argue with anyone but I guess that someone lit your tampon fuze today.  Let's just tell all the young people that are on here that if you get in a plane you are going to die a horrible flaming death.  It is the truth I guess.


Are you sure that stat was not for passengers?
