Speeding Mail Delivery In Small Planes Costs U.S. Lives
Government mail flights by small planes post a fatal accident rate near twice that of all pilots. FAA and Post Office officials clash over safety standards as weather and night routes push risks. In 1967 through early 1968, nine mail planes crashed, killing 13 people, with most crashes in bad weather. The FAA says training and tougher rules are needed and updating will come late this year.
