"Combat aircraft in general are becoming more reliable, even as they become more complex."
 
 "Combat aircraft have gotten more reliable and easier to maintain, despite growing complexity, for the same reason automobiles have."
 
Repetitive.

Better engineering and more sensors built into the equipment makes it easier for the user and maintenance personnel to detect potential problems. Aircraft used the computerized maintenance systems, currently common on new aircraft, long before automobiles got them. Unless you have a much older car that still runs, or a real good memory, you don't notice the enormous increase in automobile reliabilityhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png" itxthookicon?="" itxtrstimg="" alt="" />. But older pilots remember because such changes are a matter of life and death if you make your living flying an aircraft.
I find this particularly revealing! In that it states the same idea that I have been harping on and off for a long time as it relates to WW-II aircraft!
Aircraft of WW-II were not very reliable and they suffered alarming rates of accidents and out of service availability due to mechanical problems.
