F104 is high but not as high as F100. A surprising difference between F-102 and F-106, though maybe due to the F-106 being a development of the F-102. But the really odd thing is that the Fatal:Destroyed ratio is roughly the same for all except the F4 with a far higher proportion of fatals. I thought maybe it's double counted due to it being a 2 seater but the F-111 is in line with the trend.

Falling off an aircraft carrier is probably fairly dangerous.

There's not really anything like enough context in there: crashes caused by what? Training flights? In action? Parked up? Shot down? By whom? All users, or USA only? I don't think it tells very much tbh, I wouldn't draw any conclusions from it.

Also, total numbers built for each aircraft would be useful to know.
