SHARE British plane more risky than B-1, Stealth, Time says

The British-made airplane used to train U.S. Air Force cadets is more dangerous to fly than the B-1 bomber or the F-117 Stealth fighter-bomber, Time magazine reported.

Six people - three fledgling pilots and three instructors - have been killed in three crashes of the T-3 Firefly since it was introduced at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs in 1995, Time said in its Jan. 12 issue.
