Default Losses

Thanks for the link Mike. Because of all the accident photos I was wondering about the loss of life. Only eight pilots killed seems a very low figure considering 148 aircraft were lost.

A total of 200 accidents seems a low figure also when the weather in that area and the total number of landings and take offs are considered. I20,000 landings (and an equal number of take-offs) and 35,000 pilots qualified between the two vessels is an incredible effort.
