		The uniqueness of aviation accidents coupled with the large numbers of deaths associated with a single aircraft loss spotlight these events with a high level of public awareness -- even though quite infrequent, they gather tremendous attention as events leading up to the catastrophic loss of life are recounted by the media.
		The common belief among aviation safety experts is there will not be a significant reduction in the actual accident rate until front-line operators (managers, supervisors and employees) are in the mindset to provide experts the precursor information they need to prevent the next accident.
		The National Civil Aviation Safety Review Commission stated that “whenever possible, FOQA should become part of safety risk management programs.” Their recommendations went on to state that FOQA systems have the potential to become the basis for aviation safety decisions at three levels: the company, the aircrew and the air transportation system as a whole.

		Leon A. "Jake" "The Bullfrog" Swirbul (March 18, 1898- June 28 1960), aviation pioneer and co-founder of Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, was born in the Yorkville section of Manhattan.
		When peace broke out, Swirbul effectively scaled down Grumman's operations so quickly that the company was the only American aviation company to post a profit in 1946.
		Jake Swirbul died of pneumonia while ill with colon cancer on June 28, 1960 shortly after Grumman began work on the Gemini program and one month after the rollout ceremony for the A-6 Intruder.

		In June 1960 the USAF issued a specification for a long-range interdiction/strike aircraft able to penetrate Soviet air defenses at very low altitudes and very high speeds to deliver tactical nuclear weapons against crucial Soviet targets like airfields and supply depots.
		Since the cancellation of the F6D Missileer in December 1960 the Navy had been reconsidering variable geometry for the FAD requirement.
		In Australian military and aviation circles, the F-111 Aardvark is affectionately known as the 'Pig,' because of its ability to hunt amongst the weeds like its namesake, referring to the F-111's unique Terrain Following ability.

		In 1957, a whole swathe of advanced aircraft projects had been canceled on the grounds of cost and a belief that their job would soon be done by missiles.
