-better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than to be in the air, wishing you were on the ground

Instructor and student on a sortie, the student puts the airplane in an inverted dive---
Instructor: "look outside, are you scared?"
Student: "no sir"
Instructor: "the next time you see this in an airplane,... F*^KING BE SCARED!!"

The most dangerous words in aviation..."Watch this!"

 

[avbug]

No, the most dangerous words in aviation are, "Anything you want, dear."

Remember when sex was safe, and skydiving was dangerous?

Speed is life.

A bear in every cockpit.

 

[flywithastick]

Lots of good ones above.

Don't know why I forgot about this one, being a Cub Cpt...

"Cub's aren't very dangerous. They'll only barely kill you."

 

[ibaflyer]

I always heard it as.... "If it flys, floats or fornicates.... rent, never buy!

FL180 here we go, Yehaaa. (LR pilots) amazing with the 738 empty I can get a better time from ground to 410 than with the Lear when it was at gross. Not bad.

738 empty I can get a better time from ground to 410 than with the Lear when it was at gross

That's not compared to a 20 series Lear, is it?
