Seriously, I wonder what the number would be if you take out Alaska. Also
would like to see part 135 vs. 121.


That question came up here a couple of years ago:

It's easy to separate Alaska out using the NTSB database. In 2002,
there were 15 fatal crashes in Alaska. Nationwide, there were 361 fatal
crashes. So even if there'd been zero Alaskan fatalities, the nationwide
number would be only 4% lower--the higher fatality rate in Alaska is hardly
affecting the overall figure at all.
