Do you know much about this actor?

Her name is Carole Lombard and she was the wife of Clark Gable. She was killed in a plane crash aged just thirty four!

I admit, here aged thirty, I do worry about airplanes, flying in those aluminium tubes, and safety. Statistics show air transport is the safest but there is little chance of surviving an airplane accident/crash!

Flying is much more safer now than it was back in 1942. The plane that crashed back then was a DC-3 and it was due to pilot error. Even though DC-3s are still used to this very day, modern jet liners have far more sophisticated technology equipment than the DC-3.

@Barefooter25 Yea, operators who use DC-3s and other vintage aircraft typically do so for $$$ reasons, which extends to them also not having the financial resources to upgrade the avionics and other enhancements that make flying safer.
