Default request for fighter pilot statistic

Fatalities per hour
F102: 75 /2606799=2.9e-5
F16D: 32 /710960=4.5e-5

Eh, not so dangerous after all. Maybe Shrub isn't all that dumbya after
all.

Anybody have any leads to reputable information about fighter pilot fatality
statistics?

For example, in terms of miles, is commuting more dangerous than flying a
fighter plane? (I say no, many say yes.)

Context: Can a Coward Become a Fighter Pilot? (Yeah, I know. That's so
2000.)


I'll bet lots of folks who frequent rec.aviation.military can respond
to your inquiry. I'll crosspost this followup there for you.
