You are (statistically speaking) more likely to get stuck by lightning,
and win the lottery than get injured in a small plane crash. The only
reason you hear about plane crashes on the news is that they happen so
rarely that each time it is considered newsworthy. Imagine if there
were a front page news report everytime there was an auto crash...

I need some information from people 'in the field'. My husband has
his private license and is just starting to work on his IFR for
recreational flying. He wants to buy into a plane partnership, saying
he will be saving money rather than renting.

We have 2 little girls. I worry for his safety as it seems there is
another small plane crash every other time you turn on the news. I
think he should focus on this hobby when the kids are older, not when
he has such a young family.

Your opinions would be appreciated.
