and 4% of what? Infantry or everyone that is on the ground? I bet if you looked at only combat arms since WWII, they percent is probably higher than 4%. I think the best way to sum up flying is that it is safe, but extremely unforgiving.

I heard somewhere (read CRM brief) that 84% of all class A mishaps are related to a breakdown in the crew (not counting combat action of course). That still leaves about 16% that aren't the result of a crew mistake...

Flying is risky, made safer by experience and knowledge but will never be completely safe...

Its an unfortunate part of the business, most accidents are human error.

Skidkid was JUST talking about this last night, oddly enough.
