Subscribe to RSSI have to admit that as I grow older, I'm not a huge fan of flying even though I have been around planes my whole life since my father is an aerospace engineer, had his pilot's license and was at one point certified to fly a 737. While this crash involved a small plane, I remember seeing a show a number of years ago that suggested that passengers should count the number of seat rows between themselves and the nearest exit so as to be able to feel their way out in a smoke-filled plane. Another tip was to wear sturdy shoes that would be suitable to wear in a debris-filled situation and clothing made of natural fibers like cotton or wool, as these materials will not melt into your skin like synthetic fibers...gross, I know. Call me paranoid, but I always count rows, wear a good pair of boots and cotton clothing. Read more about the plane crash in California here in which everyone fortunately survived.

There's plenty of open space in Camarillo. How did this plane end up here?
You know the economy is bad when you can't afford to park your plane in a hanger.
I strongly disagree with the blogger. I am a pilot. The World Health Organisation says about 1.2 million per year die in car crashes worldwide. This was a plane crash and the people SURVIVED. This just shows how safe flying really is if you have a skilled pilot. This was a general aviation accident. Commercial air travel is the safest mode of travel per mile by far when compared to the alternative common methods of mechanized travel.
Aircraft safety is very important to ensure the health and well-being of the people on board airplanes. Imagine the losses that can result in these types of accidents. Aside from the tragic loss of lives, the storage facility they crashed into can also house people and property that are invaluable. <a href="">storage tulsa ok</a>
