Look on the bright side: out of 482 crashes - only 171 pilots died. That means the ejection seat/parachute has a 65% success rate. In Singapore terms - that's as good as a 100% victory.

From the above, I know you are an optimist ...

Another piece of good news ... our Malaysian friends are also using MiGs (MiG 29N)!
They have 14 but only 10 are still flying due to maintenance and spare parts problems!

Cheers
