a.. Takeoff's are optional. Landings are mandatory.

b.. If God meant man to fly, He'd have given him more money.

c.. 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)

d.. Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous.

e.. It's better to be down here wishing you were up there, than up
there wishing you were down here.

f.. Speed is life, altitude is life insurance. No one has ever collided
with
the sky.

g.. It's best to keep the pointed end going forward as much as possible.

h.. The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.

i.. Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man.... Landing is the
first!

j.. 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.

k.. The probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival.

l.. You know you've landed with the wheels up when it takes full power to
taxi.

m.. Those who hoot with the owls by night, should not fly with the eagles
by
day.

n.. 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.

o.. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make
all of them yourself.

p.. Trust your captain .... but keep your seat belt securely fastened.

q.. There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing:
Unfortunately,
no one knows what they are.

r.. A thunderstorm is never as bad on the inside as it appears on the
outside. It's worse.

s.. Keep looking around; there's always something you've missed.

t.. Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of
your takeoffs.

u.. There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no
old, bold, pilots!

v.. Things which do you no good in aviation: Altitude above you. Runway
behind
you. Fuel in the truck. Half a second ago. Approach plates in the car.
The airspeed you don't have.

w.. Being an airline pilot would be great if you didn't have to go on all
those trips.

x.. Gravity never loses! The best you can hope for is a draw!
