Maybe SSA needs a new book: "The Pain of Crashing." That would certainly
cause the accident rate to decrease...

The SSA has recently mailed a letter to the membership regarding the

30 years ago my instructor at Issaquah Soaring sold me a copy of this
book...............30 years later and a few thousand hours of flight
time and I'm still accident free......maybe it's not the book?
