I think he meant the safest plane is one that is in a hangar with the engines off.

There are two systems in a brasilia thatll kill you, the props and the flaps....thats why they put jets on it and called it a 135, no props....LMAO. And for the die hards, its tongue in cheek man..geeezzzz

I always thought the 727 was a safe airplane. It took off like a safe, flew like a safe and landed like a safe.

Not the DC-9/MD-80 due to no redundancy in elevator controls.
Not the Airbus due to computerized flight control systems
Turboprops mechanical disadvantage of propellers.
Ejets...built in Brazil.
