Not really if you look at the numbers (safety, not opportunites). At one time, if I recall correctly, the Schweizer fleet went something like 100,000 hours without a fatal accident. If I recall this was in the early 90's and was written up in AOPA and some of the helicopter magazines (such as Rotor and Wing). It was an unprecedented milestone that no other training aircraft, fixed wing or rotory wing has ever surpassed.
