Dico,

You raise a good point. Last year there were six serious Lancair accide= nts with ten fatalities. One involved a LOBO member. There have been three f= atal accidents involving members since 2008. I cannot recall the total since= then. I can give you a more complete picture later. Type club members (Lobo= , Cirrus, Bonanza, etc.) typically have an accident "rate" that is less than= half of the overall numbers because they participate. The PIC in the latest= accident was not a member and did not attend the Sedona Lobo fly out where w= e had three days of training and seminars and just good fun.

Have we gone through the Lancair accidents to see if the PIC was a= LOBO member. It would be interesting.
