Three full loss crashes of a specially certified plane/pilot combination is no mere coincidence... It's the plane's engineering and construction, pilot error, or weak inspection or certification - pick one.
Only one choice? Have you crashed three different aircraft in 10 years ( I know I have)? If not great...if yes....apply your standard above, can we extrapolate out from that answer that there is an issue? C'mon.
