Plane crashes

What is up with the multitude of small airplane crashes this summer? Seriously, it seems like every other day I check the news I see another story about a plane crash and almost all of them have been airplanes with six seats or less. It's made me a little nervous every time my dad and brother would go up for private pilot lessons with their instructors. But, fortunately, everything has gone well for them in their training this summer and our little four-seater Cessna 182 is still air-worthy. I have to admit, though, that I was glad to see Tyler back home safely after his last flight of the summer earlier this week. It's good to know he's heading back to school now and won't be taking flight again until next summer. Hopefully by then the number of small airplane crashes will have gone way down.
