    I only was on one Rejected Takeoff when I flew when the plane couldn’t reach V1 speed. While it was a bit nerve racking it was better to do that than to put the aircraft into the dirt. When I stated engine failures happen more than people think I am going by my experience from tearing down engines from failures due to anything from FOD to turbine blades separations to bearing failures. I have personally overhauled dozens of engines with such incidents. That being said Flying is way more safer than driving which I am certain you can agree with.

    That used to be true, but with pilots forced to take clot shots these days? Maybe not.

    Maybe why I have never left the States. LoL. Also because there are still many things in the states that I still haven't seen, or experienced. I have flown before.....I just really really hate it. Hell I've even been in a crop duster more than once, but I knew the Guy, and guess what....He has died since in a plane accident.

    WOW. I kid you not yesterday I was thinking about what would a team do if they lost all their players in a plane crash. This is so bizzare. I have never ever thought about anything like this before. Sheesh.
