Have there been a disproportionate number of GA airplanes getting bent
lately or is it just a perception?

I am not sure if it is really worse than usual or if it is a function
of faster, easier distribution of information amongst interested
parties via newsgroups like this one.

One way to develop a guess would be to look at the monthly summaries
of aviation accidents and incidents at the National Transportation
Safety Board's (NTSB)web-site (www.ntsb.gov). The data is not
perfect, but it should give you a decent feel regarding your question
of the apparent increase of airplane bending.

As always, my thoughts and prayers to those who have expereinced a
loss as the result of this accident.

for the rest of us, wishes for smooth air & blue skies . . .
