In a conflict with an airplane, going a hundred miles per hour, and the ground, going zero miles per hour...the ground has yet to lose!

When the weight of the paper work is equal to the weight of the aircraft you can go flying.

Don't tell mama I'm a pilot, tell her I'm a piano player in a whorehouse!

Gear up....Flaps up....Shut up!

Aviation..It's just a means of turning large sums of cash into fun and noise!

Yes Mr Inspector. My compass cards right here in my wallet. I have more than one airplane you know!

"SHITBALLS"


A certain flight home from Saskatoon we got caught in an updraft while trying to take the sucker hole between 2 thunderstorms, this was pretty much all I could think of to say at the time, and its pretty much become a catch phrase at the company. A good catch phrase from a shitty learning experience!

I would rather be sitting on the ground wishing I was flying, rather than flying wishing i was on the ground!

The only thing that electric fuel guages tell you, is that you have electric fuel guages!

The only time you can trust a Cessna fuel guage is when it reads "empty"

I wouldn't trust it even then! I've had a Cessna fuel gauge jump from 0 to full during one of the flights after we'd just top off the tanks.
