Ernie,
Dusty is safer in the air than on the highways. I haven't seen anything yet about what caused the plane to go down, but if I do I will post it. The local club had a small incident a few years ago. They used to fly out of Benton and the plane lost a wheel I think it was as they were starting their take off run. Fortunately no one was hurt but the plane was a mess. As for the not jumping out of a perfectly good plane part, that is because I am a coward at heart. I do love flying though and have never been scared at all.
