Sure, and the odds of a psycho pilot getting through screening is also unlikely. My point is that I get on the plane without analyzing the maintenance records for that aircraft, nor do I do a background check of the pilot. I have faith in the system.
Faith is a word that can have other than...
Astronomers suspect that it exists. Not a good example.
I have faith that the mechanics are taking good care of the aircraft I'm boarding, or that the pilot is not a suicidal maniac, even though I have not observed any of this.
The Japanese managed to deceive Halsey at Leyte.
They sent a decoy fleet of all their remaining carriers ( with only a few aircraft) at high speed from the north of the battle zone. Halsey took the bait leaving the San Bernardino strait open, allowing the main body of the Japanese fleet to...
