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

23 of the F-16D fatalities listed there were on a C-141 that got hit
on the ground by an F-16D after it's pilots ejected, following a
midair with a C-130 at Pope AFB in March, 1994. Take those away and
you get 9/710960=1.3e-5.

I'd take the F-16D destroyed aircraft rate of 3.8 per 100,000 hours
versus the F-102 of 9.9 as well.
