I have read somewhere that most midair collisions are "fender benders" and
that the aircraft land safely and go on to fly again. We mostly hear of
the
most spectacular accidents--just as we do with cars and trucks.

That jibes with what one of the guys from the Scottsdale FSDO FAAST team
told me:

For every one accident/incident that gets a lot of pub or "ping" the FAAs
"safety radar," there are approx 600 that don't.
