Yeah but now odds are....no more engine problems if you're lucky enough to be flying that one for the day.
I worked for a company called Grand Air Express for 3 months one summer back in the late 90's. I was hired to fly the Piper Aerostar. We called it the lawn dart. The year before I got there, they had 7 engine failures on 6 airplanes. Being the math whiz I am, I figured I was even safer than I otherwise would be because over 50% of the engines were brand new.
