This is the second jet we lost in less than a year, but thank god for the "Aces II" ejection seat, both times it worked flawlessly! Both Pilots are fine and able to fly another day!  |

| Does anyone know of a site that gives the stats on aircraft/helicopter crashes by aircraft type/make? Just out of curiousity, to see how many have crashed vs. how many have rolled off of the line? (Curious to see the results on all aircraft- civilian as well)? I have never seen those types of numbers on Jane's or fas.org? |

| Just a guess but the F-14 most likely has the worst loss rate versus production |

I bet the AV-8 ranks up there pretty high. |

| History Channel had a special on the AV-8 where they said it had more pilot fatalities/crashes than any other type. |
