You can never have too much fuel. Unless you're on fire.

On guard!!

 

[Old Crow]

Radar is a marvelous invention controllers use to amuse themselves watching aircraft evade each other.

 

[Initial Fix]

There are those that have and those that will land gear up.

 

[Initial Fix]

When the SHTF Don’t run out of altitude, air speed or ideas.

Life is like a penis, when it's soft you can't beat it, when it's hard you get f'ed.

...oh, wait...

 

[timwinters]

Although I like my new squeeze's version better.

When I asked her...do you know the old saying "life is like a penis...???"

She responded with, "what? Women make it hard?"

 

[SToL]

The loud "OW!! WTF??!!" you hear after someone uses ATITPPA is from the instructor slapping the student on the back of the heard.

... but unfortunately the student probably learned that from an instructor.

 

[SToL]

Half the pilots I meet are mean.

Half the pilots I meet are Half-@ssed pilots

Can't argue with her logic.

"I've spent half of everything I've ever earned on aviation. The rest was just wasted."

I love this

"After an engine failure in an Apache, the second engine isn't capable of taking you to the scene of the accident. You have to push it there yourself."

This is apropos given the other thread!

 

[Tantalum]

If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger, if you pull the stick back they get smaller

 

[SkyDog58]

If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger, if you pull the stick back they get smaller

and if you keep pulling back, the houses get bigger again.

 

[SToL]

The way you make a million dollars in aviation is to start with two million.

 

[GRG55]

There are those that have and those that will land gear up.

There are those tailwheel pilots that have ground-looped...and those that will.
(although I confess I know some that have been flying taildraggers for decades, and haven't yet!).


Never fly the 'A' model of anything.

Never fly anything that doesn't have the paint worn off the rudder pedals.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

The propeller's actual purpose is to cool the pilot, because you should see him sweat when it stops turning!

That’s a special one to me... when I was a kid I went for a color tour, the pilot let me take the controls and I was hooked, 20 years later when I became a pilot I found out he was my best friends grandpa and a local aviation legend... he had suffered a bad stroke, but I got to take him up with my best friend (who flew with him a lot as a kid) and his son up. It was a real honor to have Jerome sitting right seat... it turned out to be his great grandsons first flight and his last... but the whole time we were up he was throwing out all the sayings, and that ones alway stuck as I hadn’t heard it before.

The circle became even more complete as I got my TW this year and I complimented my TW instructor on his teaching style, he said “I bring a lot of my instructors teaching style when I instruct, he was a great pilot”. I asked who it was,,,, it was Jerome.

 

[Huckster79]

Introduce someone to aviation so they can be broke too...

 

[bflynn]

You should never ask someone if they're a pilot. If they are, they will tell you. If they're not, don't embarass them.

No such animal.

 

[Zeldman]

There are those that have and those that will land gear up.

And there are those that will again.

 

[Crashnburn]

Give your children the love of aviation. That way they'll never have any money for drugs.

 

[Skybrd]

Keep your wings level and fly right. Maintain thy airspeed.

 

[Shepherd]

If you hear me yell: Eject!, Eject!, Eject!, the last two will be echos.
Without ammunition the Air Force is just an expensive flying club.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you are on fire.

 

[luvflyin]

Don't stop flying the plane until the crash is over with

 

[Mike Smith]

Maintain thine airspeed lest the ground rise up and smite thee.


Or something like that.

[Kelvin]

Rule #1. Don't hit anything.

 

[SkyDog58]

"If it flys, floats, or f**ks..."

... buy used?

... rent?

... replace on condition, not time?

... operate frequently?

 

[-KLB-]

Being stupid should be painful.

It often is, to the people around them.

And if you have seen things like live PD, it appears it is often painful to them as well, they just can’t figure out the causal link.

 

[Timbeck2]

Rule #1. Don't hit anything.

Rule #2. If you have to hit something, make sure that it is soft and cheap.

 

[bflynn]

Rule #3. Nobody ever collided with the sky.

 

[nauga]

Rule #1. Don't hit anything.

Rule #1: Don't hit nauga
Rule #2: Don't hit nuthin' else.

Nauga,
who is soft and cheap

 

[Half Fast]

You talkin’ to me?!

 

[Huckster79]

"If it flys, floats, or f**ks..."

It’s trouble

 

[Huckster79]

... buy used?

... rent?

... replace on condition, not time?

... operate frequently?

...all of the above

The difference between flying and golfing is that you only need one ball to go golfing.
