I've been by this sign many time and never noticed the qualifier to the safety record. A high school friend earned his glider license at 16 and was kind enough to give me a ride at a glider meet at this airfield. I though he would get a kick out of honesty.

I guess they mean no fatalities. I have been told that 98 percent of plane crashes involve at least some pilot error.

That's a pretty good job of editing out the utility line, Rick. Nice work.

AOPA claims you can reduce your chances of a forced landing by 50% simply by ensuring the airplane has adequate fuel and oil for the flight.

Here's one I did a while back which was easy with some of the tools in the cheap version of photoshop 4.0 that came with my scanner:
