airplaneisms

Anyone got any good airplaneisms?

"There are two things required to fly - airspeed and money."

"If ever in doubt, push, don't pull."

What was that one about if wanting to come down, push forward? Want to come down faster, pull... this right?

If it's weird- it's British.

If it's ugly- it's French.

If it's both- it's Russian.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. If you can use the airplane again, it's a great one.

You can land anywhere once.

--always try to keep the number of landings equal to the number of takeoffs.

--the only money in aviation is what you put there yourself.

--what makes an airplane fly? money. what makes a helicopter fly? a lot more money.

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

-Takeoffs are optional, landings are manditory

and from a friends AIM profile:
Basic Flying Rules:
1. Try to stay in the middle of the air.
2. Do not go near the edges of it.
3. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there.

"flying is like sex. It costs a lot of money to get it, feels real good in the begining, but in the end someone always ends up looking at their watch."

The only time it is bad to have to much fuel is when your on fire.

Aviation makes for a wonderful career; I wish I knew more about it.

Push forward and the houses get bigger. Pull back and the houses get smaller. Keep pulling and eventually the houses will get bigger again.

Excuse me ma'am, I've lost my jet keys and I wondered if you would help me look for them.

Stay away from the silver lining in clouds. That's usually another airplane heading your way. Reliable sources indicate that mountians like to hide out in clouds as well.

Helicoptors don't fly -- they beat the air into submission.

The propeller is just a big fan to keep the pilots cool. Watch how fast he starts sweating when it stops.

Pilots just slip it in

Pilots do it with flare
