Three sayings that can help with life
“Shy boys get nothing”
“You are confusing me with someone who gives a damn”
“If you want a friend buy a dog”
Next time you fly just remember these facts about flying
Flying will never seem the same again
- Next time you fly just remember
- If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger, if you pull the stick back they get smaller. (Unless you keep pulling the stick back -- then they get bigger again)
- Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous.
- It's better to be down here wishing you were up there, than up there wishing you were down here.
- The propeller is just a big fan in the front of the plane to keep the pilot cool. Want proof? Make it stop; then watch the pilot break out into a sweat.
- Speed is life, altitude is life insurance. No one has ever collided with the sky.
- It's best to keep the pointed end going forward as much as possible.
- The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
- Every one already knows the definition of a 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. But very few know the definition of a 'great' landing. It's one after which you can use the airplane another time.
- The probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival.
- Always remember you fly an airplane with your head, not your hands. Never let an airplane take you somewhere your brain didn't get to five minutes earlier.
- You know you've landed with the wheels up when it takes full power to taxi.
- Those who hoot with the owls by night should not fly with the eagles by day.
- A helicopter is a collection of rotating parts going round and round and reciprocating parts going up and down - all of them trying to become random in motion. Helicopters can't really fly - they're just so ugly that the earth immediately repels them.
- Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.
- Trust your captain .... but keep your seat belt securely fastened.
- Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.
- Aviation is not so much a profession as it is a disease.
- There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.
- The only thing worse than a captain who never flew as copilot is a copilot who once was a captain.
- Be nice to your first officer, he may be your captain at your next airline.
- It's easy to make a small fortune in aviation. You start with a large fortune.
- A fool and his money are soon flying more airplane than he can handle.
- Remember, you're always a student in an airplane.
- Keep looking around; there's always something you've missed.
- Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of your takeoffs.
- You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back.
- There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold, pilots!
- Gravity never loses -- the best you can hope for is a draw!
- You start out flying with a bag of luck and a bag of experience, the trick is to get your bag of experience full before your bag of luck is empty.
