And yet you keep ignoring the fact that *all* forms of commercial aviation have an excellent safety record. 

That means that if you add up annual US fatalities in the small 2-4 passenger planes that you are irrationally worried about, *plus* slightly larger planes of 4-10 passengers that you are irrationally worried about, *plus* charter planes of 5-50 passengers, *plus* regional carriers, *plus* major airliners, *plus* any other air passengers you can imagine ..

... the *grand total* would be about ten deaths per year on average. All those different planes put together, still less dangerous than lightning.

And now you want me to believe that this excellent multi-decade safety record would magically be upended by building more aircraft, even though we are *already* building more aircraft - of all types - and have been for decades.
