It is a rare year that at least 6 don't die either on the way to or on the
way home from Osh.

That is truly tragic and pathetic. Is that the best airmen can do?

Some years there are no fatals in the immediate area,
and some years there are several fatals due to airport operations.

I would say they were probably due to pilot incompetence rather than
blame airport operations.

What sort of image do such statistics about airmen conger in the minds
of the lay public?

What sort of program does the Experimental Aircraft Association have
in place to reduce the death toll resulting from AirVenture
attendance?
