Fighter class A rate is approx 5.0
USAF overall was 1.12 in. 2015
US scheduled service for larger than 10 seats was 0.16

Yeah, fighters are about 5+ times more dangerous than the overall USAF rates and about 30x the civilian risk.

Deadseal is right, fighters are way more dangerous than airline flying. Over a 20 yr career you've got about a 10-15% chance destroying an airplane and a slightly lower odds of killing yourself.

That's not counting the roughly every 100 hr 'oh sh*t!' moment that doesn't make the official record.
