Thanks for the link! Haven't gone through all the historical data, but a data point that stood out: F-100 hit 1724.1 in '85. I suppose numbers like that could bring averages up in a hurry.

Well, yeah, 1 destroyed in 58 flying hours will do that. But the F-100 lifetime rate is 21/100,000 hours. Ick. I personally like the U-2 (https://www.safety.af.mil/Portals/71/documents/Aviation/Aircraft%20Statistics/U-2.pdf https://www.safety.af.mil/Portals/71/documents/Aviation/Airc...). '63-'69: 4 totally destroyed, 1 pilot death, 0 flying hours. Lifetime Class A: 4.84/100,000hrs.
