RAAF's low attrition rates

It’s interesting how low the RAAF’s accident rates are.

For example since being introduced in the md-1980’s, only 4 out of 75 F/A-18s have crashed (5% loss rate).

Compare that to say Spain who has lost 10 F/A-18s out of 96 deliverered (10% loss rate).

Or Italy who lost 2-3 F-16s in a very short period of time.

I think even the Canadians have a higher loss rate (e.g. 2 lost a couple of years ago).
