Another stat that I was told during my training was that a large percentage of the part 91 fatalities were pilots with less than 200 hours flight time. Like the saying goes "there are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there are few old bold pilots"

Right On, Frank. The old joke goes like this: Airplane makes its take-off, and all stuff (gear, flaps, climb speed, etc.) gets cleaned up. The Speaker comes on. "Congratulations, Folks. We are happy to have you on board.
You are the first group of air-travelers to fly without any pilots on board. Do not worry as absolutely nothing can go wrong, ...go wrong ...go wrong...go wrong...go wrong...go wrong>>>>>>>>>"
