Default My wife getting scared

On the plus side, this fear has made us VERY meticulous and careful
pilots. Preflights are NEVER omitted, fuel tanks are ALWAYS filled,
gas is ALWAYS tested, maintenance is ALWAYS done. Still, we all know
that "**** happens", and we could become statistics at some point.


If you are indeed that conscientious, the risk is very small. Perhaps "****
happens," but not nearly as often as people who prefer to avoid or deny
responsibility would like to believe.
