I don't know about you guys, but I want to go to my grave knowing I've
flown as much as it was possible for me to fly. If I die in a crash, that
means I've died when I still had flying years ahead of me and potential
adventures that will never happen. I want to die the day after I lose my
medical, not the day before.



I used to want to die at the hands of a jealous husband, but I'm afraid the
window of opportunity has slammed shut.

I for one hope that I never ever die in a plane crash. I love flying
too much, and would hate to die from something that gives me so much
pleasure. I would also hate for my wife to be able to say "see, I
knew his flying was dangerous and I knew it would kill him someday".


Came upon this a week or so late, but just wanted to add that the above are
exactly my sentiments. I definitely do not want to add fuel to the "those
small planes are dangerous" mentality by dying in an aircraft accident.
