"Darkwing" theducksmail"AT"yahoo.com wrote in message ... http://news.thomasnet.com/IMT/archiv...0 6_2007.html That takes test flying, crop dusting and firefighting ops into consideration but doesn't really break it down compared with ferrying, instruction or other commercial activity. Also, it's dated a bit, stating that there's strong competition and more pilots than jobs. That may be the case, but, they're recruiting right out of college campuses now. -c

I have a 70 year old friend who has about 34,000 hours ag flying and still going. he'd say that nose down landings on steep hillsides covered in 'turf' might be seen as a danger :-)

101 deaths per 100,000.
Are private pilots in there? or is that just professional pilots? Did they compute the 101 because of the smaller number of pro pilots. I am surprised mining is not in there. Or police officer. I'd take pilot any day. They mentioned coal mining in China. I read about 4000 die per year doing that. Darkwing wrote: http://news.thomasnet.com/IMT/archiv...0 6_2007.html

88 in 100,000.
It's hard to get a grip on how big 100,000 is compared to 88. Anyway, regardless, every time I get on I-35 I feel like I'm running a gauntlet. It feels much worse than being at 3500 feet or doing T&G work. One comparison that I can make sense of is that the number of deaths in GA is about equal to number of deaths of motorcycle riders. And I bet on the stretches of I-35 I have to drive. Really got to convince my wife to let me buy a 172.
