What is the safety record of the F-102?

Since there has been a great deal of talk about the president's military record, it has been pointed out that the F-102 did not have the best safety record. Anyone know about this? And do you have a web site that would verify this? http://safety.kirtland.af.mil/AFSC/R...s/f102mds.html If you wish to compare them against fighters, back up a level to http://safety.kirtland.af.mil/AFSC/R...aft_stats.html and choose your a/c.

Anyone know about this? And do you have a web site that would verify this? The Air FOrce Safety Center statistics page at: http://safety.kirtland.af.mil/AFSC/R...statspage.html Has listings for most Air Force Aircraft since 1950. Basically, it was pretty average, for a Century Series FIghter, wich a Class A accident rate of between 10-15 per 100,000 Flight Hours for most of its career. That's about half as good as, say, adn F-4, and 1/3 as good as an F-15. Note that some aircraft, like the F-100 and F-104 had really rocky service introductions, with very high accident rates. And that the accident rates for the earlier generation jets was also higher, as well. -- Pete Stickney A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures. -- Daniel Webster |
