I'm
not talkin' 'bout air racin' here, but I believe I've heard that for every mile you can (or do)
DRIVE safely - you can
FLY 4,0000 miles safely.
Flying (and probably air racing) really IS safer than driving to work.
Of course, those are just the odds - 4000 to 1. IF I have the right figure. It may be MORE safe fly miles vs. drive miles.
Or less.
And the more ya drive or fly ...
Well, ya know .....
Sometimes the odds DO catch up to ya!
But I'd sit in those pit box seats. To heck with odds!
