"Doug" wrote in message oups.com... Ah yes, but flying a small, tandem, amphibious aircraft hangared at my particular airport, flown by a 50 something pilot with Commercial, IFR and CFI ratings, is actually quite safe, statistically. In fact, I don't believe there has EVER been a fatality in one of those! But Doug, you're not statistically relevant until you die in a crash and burn. Then, because since relatively few people do crash and burn you will have an effect on the statistics. Think about it.
