-Never fly in the same cockpit with someone braver than you

-The only time an aircraft has too much fuel on board is when it is on fire

-If you're faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the crash as possible

-It only takes two things to fly:--- airspeed and money

-When a flight is proceeding incredibly well, something was forgotten

-Instrument flying is when your mind gets a grip on the fact that there is vision beyond sight

-To most people, the sky is the limit. To those who love aviation, the sky is home

-The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement...The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life to experience all three at the same time!
