If I was going to be hitting anything in flight, that's what I would want to be in. I watched a show on the 737 and business jet mid-air over Brazil. Hard to believe that a business jet's winglet sliced through a 737's wing, but it did.
I didn't really take it that way either. I hate the written word...gladly buy you a beer and talk about it - works better that way!!!
The Herk is built like a tank; redundant back-up systems when it comes to electrics & hydraulics...not much you can back up on structure and some things can't be backed up, of course...
...I'm lucky I still fly her!!!
