I see on the CNN Web page not one but two reports of GA plane crashes.
General Aviation isn't inherently dangerous, so the large number of
crashes
can only mean that there are lots of bad pilots and poorly-maintained
aircraft
out there. And the accidents that occur as a result are ruining the
reputation of GA in the eyes of the public.

Get off it. A Cub can crash out of a dirt strip in the Ozarks and it makes
national news. On the same day, 1000 people can get killed on the highway in
Arkansas, and it's a footnote in the local paper.

Been one of my gripes for 50 years.
