The safest plane is the one I'm not flying.



The safest plane is whatever one I AM flying!!
 
The Lancair has never had a fatal crash.
 
High wings are gay.

My $0.02
 
Piper Tomahawk.


Safest cause it weeds out the idiots...thats why we're all safer.

You have feet don't you??

:D
T-Hawk
 
Actually the Bell 206 Jet Ranger. (Hours flown vs. fatalities)

Give me some time and I'll pull up the reference for everybody. The only other aircraft with numbers as good is believe it or not, the C-130 Hercules.
 
there has not been one in flight airframe failure of a c-182 or c-172 ever. pretty safe airplane if you ask me.

Wrong! There have been 2 inflight structural failures in 172's, none for 182's.

They happened within weeks apart last year.

I remember reading that about the Jet Ranger. I told my uncle (who introduced me to flying at a young age, and who is anti-helicopter) and he said "Yea right...the article is B.S".

I believe the C-172 came in 2nd.
