I don’t. Every change in FAA safety regulations since then has been paid for in blood. The fatality rate per 100,000 flight hours was about 5x higher in 1970.

People are quick to forget about this. Everyone ought to read more by Admiral Cloudberg.

Does 5x higher means it’s much? Because today’s plan is the safest way to travel.
So would multiplying the risk by 5 make it more unsafe than cars for example?
Because we do use cars a lot, more than we should, just because we like it. And the fatality rate is pretty high.

I think I actually understated how much more dangerous it was then because the chart I was looking at stopped a couple of decades ago. I found a more recent study and it’s more like 1 death per 7.9 million boardings currently, versus 1 death per 350,000 boardings (!) from 1968-1977.

Nice, i’m not surprised but it’s still hella impressive. Aeronautics is truly outstanding engineering nowadays.
Still i think i would definitively take the risk to try a 70’ plane once, for the experience. Like i said it would probably be way safer than regularly using a car. But i get your point, it really was different back then.
