Flying is so dangerous!

Makes me wonder why I still do it.

I hate hearing about all these accidents.

Did you get that line from the uneducated, non-flying media?! What a great comment... Are you sure you're a pilot?

 

[Amish RakeFight]

Dude, I love flying but it is a dangerous occupation. You cant deny that. and why would anyone want to read about these accidents.

I really do wonder why I'm so passionate about flying. It is dangerous. Dont kid yourself.
